Strategy-proofness of stochastic assignment mechanisms

Schmelzer, André - 2017

This paper compares two prominent stochastic assignment mechanisms in the laboratory: Random serial dictatorship (RSD) and top trading cycles with random endowments (TTC). In standard theory, both mechanisms are strategy-proof and Pareto-effcient for the house allocation problem without...

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

Canay, Ivan A.; Kamat, Vishal - 2017

In the regression discontinuity design (RDD), 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...

On Minimizing the Risk of Bias in Randomized Controlled Trials in Economics

Eble, Alex; Boone, Peter; Elbourne, Diana - In: The World Bank Economic Review 31 (2017) 3, pp. 687-707

Estimation of empirical relationships is prone to bias. Economists have carefully studied sources of bias in structural and quasi-experimental approaches, but the randomized control trial (RCT) has only begun to receive such scrutiny. In this paper, we argue that several lessons from medicine,...

Inference with imperfect randomization: The case of the Perry Preschool program

Heckman, James J.; Pinto, Rodrigo; Shaikh, Azeem M.; … - 2011

assignment of treatment status is imperfectly randomized. By imperfect randomization we mean that treatment status is reassigned … after an initial randomization on the basis of characteristics that may be observed or unobserved by the analyst. We develop … randomization is imperfect to show that it is still possible to make nontrivial inferences about the effects of the program in such …
