Regression Discontinuity Designs in Health [PDF]

open access: yesEpidemiology, 2020
Background: Regression discontinuity designs are non-randomized study designs that permit strong causal inference with relatively weak assumptions. Interest in these designs is growing but there is limited knowledge of the extent of their application in health. We aimed to conduct a comprehensive systematic review of the use of

The Effect of Seeding on Tournament Outcomes: Evidence From a Regression-Discontinuity Design

open access: yes, 2021
Seeding in tournaments is a process of creating a schedule based on performance in the recent past. It is used in many athletic disciplines to ensure that particularly attractive match ups do not occur until the later stages of the tournament. We exploit
