Approximate permutation tests and induced order statistics in the regression discontinuity design

Canay, Ivan A.; Kamat, Vishal - 2016

In the regression discontinuity design, it is common practice to asses the credibility of the design by testing whether the means of baseline covariates do not change at the cutoff (or threshold) of the running variable. This practice is partly motivated by the stronger implication derived by...

Inference on breakdown frontiers

Masteny, Matthew A.; Poirierz, Alexandre - 2017

A breakdown frontier is the boundary between the set of assumptions which lead to a specific conclusion and those which do not. In a potential outcomes model with a binary treatment, we consider two conclusions: First, that ATE is at least a specific value (e.g., nonnegative) and second that the...

Approximate permutation tests and induced order statistics in the regression discontinuity design

Canay, Ivan A.; Kamat, Vishal - 2015

This paper proposes an asymptotically valid permutation test for a testable implication of the identification assumption in the regression discontinuity design (RDD). Here, by testable implication, we mean the requirement that the distribution of observed baseline covariates should not change...

Inference for ranks with applications to mobility across neighborhoods and academic achievement across countries

Mogstad, Magne; Romano, Joseph P.; Wilhelm, Daniel; … - 2020

It is often desired to rank different populations according to the value of some feature of each population. For example, it may be desired to rank neighborhoods according to some measure of intergenerational mobility or countries according to some measure of academic achievement. These rankings...

Measurement error and rank correlations

Kitagawa, Toru; Nybom, Martin; Stuhler, Jan - 2018 - This version: April 2018

This paper characterizes and proposes a method to correct for errors-in-variables biases in the estimation of rank correlation coeffcients (Spearman's ρ and Kendall's τ). We first investigate a set of suffcient conditions under which measurement errors bias the sample rank correlations toward...

The effect of classroom rank on learning throughout elementary school : experimental evidence from Ecuador

Carneiro, Pedro; Cruz Aguayo, Yyannú; Salvati, Francesca; … - 2023

We study the impact of classroom rank on children's learning using a unique experiment from Ecuador. Within each school, students were randomly assigned to classrooms in every grade between kindergarten and 6th grade. Students with the same ability can have different classroom ranks because of...

Statistical uncertainty in the ranking of journals and universities

Mogstad, Magne; Romano, Joseph P.; Shaikh, Azeem M.; … - 2022

Economists are obsessed with rankings of institutions, journals, or scholars according to the value of some feature of interest. These rankings are invariably computed using estimates rather than the true values of such features. As a result, there may be considerable uncertainty concerning the...
