External Validity and Transportability: A Formal Approach
We provide a formal definition of the notion of “transportability,” or “external validity,” as a license to transfer causal information from experimental studies to a different population in which only observational studies can be conducted. We introduce a formal representation called “selection diagrams” for expressing differences and commonalities between populations of interest and, using th...
متن کاملDecision Theoretic Approaches to Experiment Design and External Validity∗
A modern, decision-theoretic framework can help clarify important practical questions of experimental design. Building on our recent work, this chapter begins by summarizing our framework for understanding the goals of experimenters, and applying this to re-randomization. We then use this framework to shed light on questions related to experimental registries, pre-analysis plans, and most impor...
متن کاملHow to Examine External Validity Within an Experiment∗
A fundamental concern for researchers who design and analyze experiments is that the experimental result might not be externally valid in another context. Researchers have traditionally attempted to assess external validity by comparing data from an experiment to other data. In this essay, I use insights from my recent work to show researchers how to begin the examination of external validity i...
متن کاملNber Working Paper Series External and Internal Validity of a Geographic Quasi-experiment Embedded in Cluster-randomized Experiment
from internal validity. The point estimates for school enrollment and work-in-home are attenuated relative to experiment 1. Descriptive statistics suggests that the sample in experiment 2 is better-off than that of experiment 1, given higher rates of electricity use, asset ownership, and other income proxies. This plausibly explains the attenuated effects, since the literature on conditional ca...
متن کاملValidity of Survey Response Propensity Indicators: A Behavior Genetics Approach
Objectives. This study explains how behavior genetic analysis using a twin design can help us assess the validity of our measures. Methods. We test multiple indicators of response propensity, a measure used by survey researchers to better understand the similarities and differences between survey respondents and nonrespondents. The response propensity indicators evaluated include response to fo...
