Running head: MULTIPLE RATING-SCORE REGRESSION DISCONTINUITY Regression discontinuity designs with multiple rating-score variables
In the absence of a randomized control trial, regression discontinuity (RD) designs can produce plausible estimates of the treatment effect on an outcome for individuals near a cutoff score. In the standard RD design, individuals with rating scores higher than some exogenously determined cutoff score are assigned to one treatment condition; those with rating scores below the cutoff score are as...
متن کاملEffects of schooling and age on performance in mathematics and science: A between-grade regression discontinuity design with instrumental variables applied to Swedish TIMSS 1995 data
The main purpose of the study is to examine the relative effects of schooling and age on performance in mathematics and science by the use of a regression discontinuity approach augmented with an instrumental variable approach. The regression discontinuity design relies on the assumption that there is a sharp age-based decision rule for grade assignment, and a main purpose of the paper is to in...
متن کاملEvaluating the Effect of University Grants on Student Dropout: Evidence from a Regression Discontinuity Design Using Bayesian Principal Stratification Analysis
ABSTRACT Regression discontinuity (RD) designs are often interpreted as local randomized experiments: a RD design can be considered as a randomized experiment for units with a realized value of a so-called forcing variable falling around a pre-fixed threshold. Motivated by the evaluation of Italian university grants, we consider a fuzzy RD design where the receipt of the treatment is based on b...
متن کاملRegression Discontinuity Designs in Epidemiology: Causal Inference Without Randomized Trials
When patients receive an intervention based on whether they score below or above some threshold value on a continuously measured random variable, the intervention will be randomly assigned for patients close to the threshold. the regression discontinuity design exploits this fact to estimate causal treatment effects. in spite of its recent proliferation in economics, the regression discontinuit...
متن کاملCausal Methods for Observational Data
Comparative effectiveness research often uses non-experimental observational data (like hospital discharge records or nationally representative surveys) to draw causal inference about the effectiveness of interventions for health. These ex post inferences require the careful use of specialized statistical methods in order to account for issues like selection bias and unmeasured heterogeneity. T...
