Through repeated close reading, we identified assumptions, metaphors, storylines, scenarios, practices and rhetorical positions.
Where associations with external organizations are not identified, assumptions may be made about the role of the implementing organization in program delivery.
We provide evidence below in support of that identifying assumption.
Moreover, the identifying assumption about equal coefficients can be tested.
The so-called common trend assumption is the key identifying assumption of this strategy.
In addition, we check the validity of the DiD identifying assumption for our study more directly.
The main identifying assumption is that the two regions are similar in many respects.
The identifying assumption is that unionized fathers are not more ' able' parents than nonunionized fathers with similar observable skills.
The improved similarity of both groups increases the probability that the DiD identifying assumption will be met.
A concern with these results, however, is that the identifying assumption may not hold up well for some variables.
