Randomized Response and the Binary Probit Model

Ronning, Gerd - 2003

The paper analyzes effects of randomized response with respect to some binary dependent variable on the estimation of the probit model. This approach is used in interviews when asking sensitive questions. Alternatively randomization can be considered as a means of statistical disclosure control...

Impact evaluation of infrastructure investments: the experience of the Millennium Challenge Corporation

BenYishay, Ariel; Tunstall, Rebecca - In: Journal of Development Effectiveness 3 (2011) 1, pp. 103-130

In many developing countries, aging or inadequate infrastructure is a binding constraint to economic growth. The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), a US government agency providing development assistance, has committed more than $4 billion to upgrade or rehabilitate roads, ports,...

How Do Shocks to Non-Cognitive Skills Affect Test Scores?

Behncke, Stefanie - School of Economics and Political Science, Universität … - 2009

instructions, whereas the other half served as controls. The students were allocated to 14 tutorials and randomisation was … obtained by four different methods that take into account that randomisation was clustered at the tutorial group level. These … randomisation inference followed by the wild cluster bootstrap have superior size properties compared to conventional approaches. …

Thoughts on randomised trials for evaluation of development: presentation to the Cairo evaluation clinic

Karlan, Dean - In: Journal of Development Effectiveness 1 (2009) 3, pp. 237-242

The authors were asked to discuss specific methodological approaches to evaluating three hypothetical interventions. This article uses this forum to discuss three misperceptions about randomised trials. First, nobody argues that randomised trials are appropriate in all settings, and for all...

A dark art comes to the water‐cooler: a review of some key texts on RCTs for children's services professionals and researchers

Hobbs, Tim; Carr, Matthew; Holley, Marc; Gray, Nathan; … - In: Journal of Children's Services 3 (2008) 1, pp. 40-50

The need for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) to support evidence‐based services to improve outcomes for children is increasingly recognised by researchers and policy‐makers. However, this brings a pressing requirement to build research capacity for conducting RCTs and to address the...

Matching Estimating of Dynamic Treatment Models: Some Practical Issues

Lechner, Michael - School of Economics and Political Science, Universität … - 2006

Lechner and Miquel (2001) approached the causal analysis of sequences of interventions from a potential outcome perspective based on selection on observable type of assumptions (sequential conditional independence assumptions). Lechner (2004) proposed matching estimators for this framework....

Sequential Matching Estimation of Dynamic Causal Models

Lechner, Michael - School of Economics and Political Science, Universität … - 2004

This paper proposes sequential matching and inverse selection probability weighting to estimate dynamic casual effects. The sequential matching estimators extend simple, matching estimators based on propensity scores for static causal analysis that have been frequently applied in the evaluation...

Nonparametric Analysis of Longitudinal Binary Data: An Application to the Intergroup Prisoner's Dilemma Game

Nirel, Ronit; Gorfine, Malka - In: Experimental Economics 6 (2003) 3, pp. 327-341

The intergroup prisoner's dilemma game was suggested by Bornstein (1992, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. 7, 597â€“606) for modelling intergroup conflicts over continuous public goods. We analyse data of an experiment in which the game was played for 150 rounds, under three...
