Academic publisher SAGE has announced the appointment of Abt Principal Associate and Senior Fellow Jacob Klerman as Editor of Evaluation Review. A SAGE journal, Evaluation Review serves as an interdisciplinary forum for researchers, planners, and policymakers who develop, implement, and utilize studies designed to improve the human condition.
The journal covers a variety of topics such as education, public health, criminal justice, child development, mental health, social work, public administration and environmental studies. Additionally, it presents the latest applied research issues, as well as quantitative and qualitative methodological developments.
Klerman is an expert in both experimental (i.e., random assignment) and quasi-experimental evaluation of social programs. Prior to coming to Abt in 2007, he was a Senior Economist at the RAND Corporation and Director of RAND's Center for the Study of Social Welfare Policy.
Klerman has published widely in academic journals, including the American Economic Review, Journal of the American Medical Association, Health Affairs, Health Services Research, Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, Journal of Human Resources, and Journal of Labor Economics.
