The Power Asymmetry in Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity Designs
Kaliski, Daniel; Keane, Michael P.; Neal, Timothy - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2025
In a fuzzy regression discontinuity (RD) design, the probability of treatment jumps when a running variable (R) passes a threshold (R0). Fuzzy RD estimates are obtained via a procedure analogous to two-stage least squares (2SLS), where an indicator I(R R0) plays the role of the instrument....

How Experiments with Children Inform Economics
List, John A.; Petrie, Ragan; Samek, Anya Savikhin - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021
In the past several decades the experimental method has lent deep insights into economics. One perhaps surprising area that has contributed is the experimental study of children, where advances as varied as the evolution of human behaviors that shape markets and institutions, to how early life...

Using Online Prices for Measuring Real Consumption Across Countries
Cavallo, Alberto - 2018
We show that online prices can be used to construct quarterly purchasing power parities (PPPs) with a closely-matched set of goods and identical methodologies in a variety of developed and developing countries. Our results are close to those reported by the International Comparisons Program...

AI, Labor, Productivity and the Need for Firm-Level Data
Seamans, Robert - 2018
We summarize existing empirical findings regarding the adoption of robotics and AI and its effects on aggregated labor and productivity, and argue for more systematic collection of the use of these technologies at the firm level. Existing empirical work primarily uses statistics aggregated by...
