Rates of Return to University Education: The Regression Discontinuity Design [PDF]

open access: yes
Estimating the rate of return to a university degree has always been difficult due to the problem of omitted variable biases. Benefiting from a special feature of the University Admission system in China, which has clear cutoffs for university entry ...

Randomization Inference in the Regression Discontinuity Design: An Application to Party Advantages in the U.S. Senate

open access: yesJournal of Causal Inference, 2015
In the Regression Discontinuity (RD) design, units are assigned a treatment based on whether their value of an observed covariate is above or below a fixed cutoff.

Empirical Likelihood for Regression Discontinuity Design [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper proposes empirical likelihood based inference methods for causal effects identified from regression discontinuity designs. We consider both the sharp and fuzzy regression discontinuity designs and treat the regression functions as ...

Human Atlas of Tooth Decay Progression: Identification of Cellular Mechanisms Driving the Switch from Dental Pulp Repair Toward Irreversible Pulpitis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Tooth decay progression transforms the dental pulp response from repair to fibrosis. At early stages, stromal cells reprogram to repair the extra cellular matrix (ECM), blood vessels, and nerves, remodel and grow, keeping repair possible. In advanced decay, hypoxia, and vessel regression, in complement with an immune switch, fuel nerve degeneration and

The impact of 'equal educational opportunity' funds: a regression discontinuity design [PDF]

open access: yes
Many countries provide extra resources to schools serving disadvantaged pupils. We exploit a discontinuity in the assignment of such personnel subsidies in Flanders to estimate the impact on cognitive outcomes via a regression discontinuity (RD) design ...

Age discrimination causes Unemployment: Evidence from the “35-year-Old phenomenon” in China

open access: yesChina Economic Quarterly International
Age discrimination in the labor market is a global issue, and in China, it becomes a pressing concern, particularly in the context of so-called “35-year-old crisis.” Departing from the literature that largely relies on resume experiments to identify age ...

Red Blood Cells Internalize Extracellular DNA via Apoptotic Bodies with Clinical Relevance to Cancer Patients

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Mature red blood cells (RBCs) can capture extracellular DNA, with short fragments homologous to cfDNA. This uptake is mediated by apoptotic bodies, which induce RBC oxidative stress, deformation, and accelerated in vivo clearance. The rbcDNA abundance correlates with tumor burden and therapeutic response, highlighting its potential as a liquid biopsy ...

Class Size and the Regression Discontinuity Design: The Case of Public Schools [PDF]

open access: yes
Using a rich individual-level dataset on secondary public schools in Israel, we find strong evidence for discontinuities in the relationship between enrollment and household characteristics at cutoff points induced by a maximum class size rule.
