Visual inference and graphical representation in regression discontinuity designs

Korting, Christina; Lieberman, Carl; Matsudaira, Jordan D. - 2021

Despite the widespread use of graphs in empirical research, little is known about readers' ability to process the statistical information they are meant to convey ("visual inference"). We study visual inference within the context of regression discontinuity (RD) designs by measuring how...

A review of some recent developments in the modelling and seasonal adjustment of infra-monthly time series

Webel, Karsten - 2022

Infra-monthly time series have increasingly appeared on the radar of official statistics in recent years, mostly as a consequence of a general digital transformation process and the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Many of those series are seasonal and thus in need for seasonal...

Knowing what works : the case for rigorous program evaluation

Schmidt, Christoph M. - 1999

Since interventions by the public sector generally commit substantial societal resources, the evaluation of effects and costs of policy interventions is imperative. This paper outlines why program evaluation should follow well-respected scientific standards and why it should be performed by...
