The Contribution of Chinese Diaspora Researchers to Global Science and China's Catching Up in Scientific Research

Xie, Qingnan; Freeman, Richard B. - 2022

This study examines the contribution of Chinese diaspora researchers – those born in China but working outside the … country – to China's catching up in global science to become a world leader in research publications and citations. Using a … networks that connect scientific discovery in China with the rest of the world. In co-authorship, diaspora researchers are over …

Historical Natural Experiments : Bridging Economics and Economic History

Cantoni, Davide; Yuchtman, Noam - 2022

The analysis of historical natural experiments has profoundly impacted economics research across fields. We trace the development and increasing application of the methodology, both from the perspective of economic historians and from the perspective of economists in other subdisciplines. We...

A Theory of Experimenters

Banerjee, Abhijit V. - 2017

This paper proposes a decision-theoretic framework for experiment design. We model experimenters as ambiguity-averse decision-makers, who make trade-offs between subjective expected performance and robustness. This framework accounts for experimenters' preference for randomization, and clarifies...

Balancing, Regression, Difference-in-Differences and Synthetic Control Methods : A Synthesis

Doudchenko, Nikolay - 2016

In a seminal paper Abadie et al (2010) develop the synthetic control procedure for estimating the effect of a treatment, in the presence of a single treated unit and a number of control units, with pre-treatment outcomes observed for all units. The method constructs a set of weights such that...

The Promise and Pitfalls of Differences-in-Differences : Reflections on ‘16 and Pregnant’ and Other Applications

Kahn-Lang, Ariella - 2018

We use the exchange between Kearney/Levine and Jaeger/Joyce/Kaestner on “16 and Pregnant” to reexamine the use of DiD as a response to the failure of nature to properly design an experiment for us. We argue that 1) any DiD paper should address why the original levels of the experimental and...

Testing the Waters : Behavior Across Participant Pools

Snowberg, Erik - 2018

We leverage a large-scale incentivized survey eliciting behaviors from (almost) an entire university student population, a representative sample of the U.S. population, and Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) to address concerns about the external validity of experiments with student participants....

Shackling the Identification Police?

Ruhm, Christopher J. - 2018

This paper examines potential tradeoffs between research methods in answering important questions versus providing more cleanly identified estimates on problems that are potentially of lesser interest. The strengths and limitations of experimental and quasi-experimental methods are discussed and...
