Breaking ties : regression discontinuity design meets market design
Abdulkadiroğlu, Atila; Angrist, Joshua D.; Narita, Yusuke - 2019
Centralized school assignment algorithms must distinguish between applicants with the same preferences and priorities. This is done with randomly assigned lottery numbers, nonlottery tie-breakers like test scores, or both. The New York City public high school match illustrates the latter, using...

Research design meets market design : using centralized assignment for impact evaluation
Abdulkadiroğlu, Atila; Angrist, Joshua D.; Narita, Yusuke - 2016
A growing number of school districts use centralized assignment mechanisms to allocate school seats in a manner that reflects student preferences and school priorities. Many of these assignment schemes use lotteries to ration seats when schools are oversubscribed. The resulting random assignment...

IV Methods Reconcile Intention-to-Screen Effects Across Pragmatic Cancer Screening Trials
Angrist, Joshua D.; Hull, Peter - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2023
Pragmatic cancer screening trials mimic real-world scenarios in which patients and doctors are the ultimate arbiters of treatment. Intention-to-screen (ITS) analyses of such trials maintain randomization-based apples-to-apples comparisons, but differential adherence (the failure of subjects...

Angrist, Joshua D.; Lavy, Victor; Schlosser, Analía - 2006
A longstanding question in the economics of the family is the relationship between sibship size and subsequent human capital formation and economic welfare. If there is a causal quantity-quality tradeoff, then policies that discourage large families should lead to increased human capital, higher...

Charters without lotteries : testing takeovers in New Orleans and Boston
Abdulkadiroğlu, Atila; Angrist, Joshua D.; Hull, Peter; … - 2015
Lottery estimates suggest oversubscribed urban charter schools boost student achievement markedly. But these estimates needn't capture treatment effects for students who haven't applied to charter schools or for students attending charters for which demand is weak. This paper reports estimates...

Abdulkadiroğlu, Atila; Angrist, Joshua D.; Pathak, Parag A. - 2012
Parents gauge school quality in part by the level of student achievement and a school's racial mix. The importance of school characteristics in the housing market can be seen in the jump in house prices at school district boundaries where peer characteristics change. The question of whether...

Wanna get away? : RD identification away from the cutoff
Angrist, Joshua D.; Rokkanen, Miikka - 2013
In the canonical regression discontinuity (RD) design for applicants who face an award or admissions cutoff, causal effects are nonparametrically identified for those near the cutoff. The effect of treatment on inframarginal applicants is also of interest, but identification of such effects...
