Periodic Reporting for period 2 - RD-ADVANCE (Advancing Econometric Methods for Analyzing Data from Regression Discontinuity Designs)
Période du rapport: 2020-03-01 au 2021-08-31
To goal of this project is to extend the range of tools available to applied researchers working with data from RD designs. This involves methodological research in econometrics and statistics, as well as some applied work with real data. The research will lead to more accurate and easy to implement methods for estimation and inference, and address practical issues that often challenge the validity of RD analysis.
Given the huge popularity of RD designs, and the projects’s focus on practical methods, it has the potential to have a sizable impact on empirical economic research in a number of policy relevant areas, such as education and public finance; but also on other branches of science where researchers commonly work with observational data, such as sociology or epidemiology.
