Donut Regression Discontinuity Designs
, 2023 We study the econometric properties of so-called donut regression discontinuity (RD) designs, a robustness exercise which involves repeating estimation and inference without the data points in some area around the treatment threshold. This approach is often motivated by concerns that possible systematic sorting of units, or similar data issues, in some

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

The Regression Discontinuity Design — Theory and Applications [PDF]
, 2008 In Regression Discontinuity (RD) designs for evaluating causal effects of interventions, assignment to a treatment is determined at least partly by the value of an observed covariate lying on either side of a fixed threshold.

BMC Geriatrics, 2022 Background Previous studies suggest that retirement, a major life event, affects overall healthcare utilization. We examine, the effects of retirement on inpatient healthcare utilization, including effect heterogeneity by gender, disease category, and ...

Regression Discontinuity Design with Many Thresholds [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2015 Numerous empirical studies employ regression discontinuity designs with multiple cutoffs and heterogeneous treatments. A common practice is to normalize all the cutoffs to zero and estimate one effect. This procedure identifies the average treatment effect (ATE) on the observed distribution of individuals local to existing cutoffs. However, researchers

Optimizing the tie-breaker regression discontinuity design [PDF]
Electronic Journal of Statistics, 2020 Motivated by customer loyalty plans and scholarship programs, we study tie-breaker designs which are hybrids of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and regression discontinuity designs (RDDs). We quantify the statistical efficiency of a tie-breaker design in which a proportion $ $ of observed subjects are in the RCT.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 Previous studies have documented a positive association between college education and happiness. However, the endogeneity of college education attainment is rarely examined, and a more robust link between college education and happiness needs to be built.

Regression discontinuity design studies: a guide for health researchers
British medical journalAs randomized controlled trials are not always feasible, quasi-experimental methods, such as regression discontinuity design, can expand the scope of clinical investigations aimed at causal inference in observational settings.

A guide to regression discontinuity designs in medical applications
Statistics in Medicine, 2023 We present a practical guide for the analysis of regression discontinuity (RD) designs in biomedical contexts. We begin by introducing key concepts, assumptions, and estimands within both the continuity‐based framework and the local randomization framework.

Self-Perception or Objective State: A Further Study of the Effects of Retirement on Health
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 Against the backdrop of an aging global population and the increasing pressure of medical care expenditures for seniors, this paper used a fuzzy regression discontinuity (FRD) model to explore the effects of retirement on the self-assessed health and ...
