خلاصه	Coarsened Exact Matching (CEM) is a pre-processing matching strategy that reduces imbalance between treated and comparison groups before outcome analysis. In education research it is used to create balanced comparison groups from administrative records, survey data, or quasi-experimental study designs — for example comparing students who received an intervention against comparable students who did not, without relying on randomisation.	Coarsened Exact Matching is a preprocessing method that achieves covariate balance by temporarily coarsening continuous variables into bins, exactly matching treated and control units within those bins, and then discarding all unmatched units. Introduced by Iacus, King, and Porro (2011, 2012), it bounds imbalance on each covariate independently, yielding a matched sample on which any estimator can be applied without relying on a propensity score model.
