Population-based screening can prevent disease but also induce false positives to use low-value healthcare. Using data on individuals aged 40+ in rural South Africa and a multidimensional regression discontinuity design, we estimate effects of clinical referral based on blood pressure (BP) above...

By detecting asymptomatic risk factors, such as hypertension, population-based screening can prevent disease but also induce use of low-value healthcare by false positives. Using data on individuals aged 40+ in rural South Africa and a multidimensional regression discontinuity design, we...

After a natural experiment is first used, other researchers often reuse the setting, examining different outcome variables. We examine the consequences of reusing an experimental setting using two extensively studied natural experiments, business combination laws and the Regulation SHO pilot. We...
