DOI: 10.1002/hec.3829
Abstract: Using a regression-discontinuity approach on a U.K. longitudinal dataset, this research analyses whether personalised weight feedback resulted in individuals losing weight over a period of between 2 and 7 years. The analysis presented here finds that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/hec.4466
Abstract: This paper explores how a diagnosis of hypertension might affect a person's health-related behaviors. The analysis uses a two-dimensional regression discontinuity design because hypertension is diagnosed when a person's systolic or diastolic blood pressure (SBP… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.econedurev.2018.06.003
Abstract: Abstract Instructional time is a fundamental educational input, yet we have little causal evidence about the effect of longer school days on student achievement. This paper uses a sharp regression discontinuity design to estimate the… read more here.

Nonparametric identification and estimation of dynamic treatment effects for survival data in a regression discontinuity design
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Economics Letters"
DOI: 10.1016/j.econlet.2019.108665
Abstract: Treatment assignment in the survival literature is often assumed to be allocated simultaneously and independently of prospective treatment gains. This paper relaxes these restrictions by introducing dynamic treatment assignment for survival data in a regression… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.electstud.2021.102334
Abstract: Abstract Voting in one election increases one's propensity to vote in the future. It remains unclear, however, whether this pattern holds when voting is compulsory – as is the case in a quarter of all… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2022.e08964
Abstract: In Pakistan, women face economic and social vulnerability, which keeps them underpaid even without social barriers. Government micro and macroeconomic policies are aimed at income generation rather than making women part of the economic mainstream.… read more here.

Abstract: This paper presents evidence on intra-household retirement externalities by assessing the causal effect of spousal retirement on various health behaviors and health status across 19 European countries. We identify partner's and own retirement effects by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0007123418000029
Abstract: This article investigates how the success of radical right parties affects the policy positions of mainstream parties. We do this using a regression discontinuity approach that allows us to causally attribute mainstream parties’ positional changes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1037/met0000118
Abstract: In the “sharp” regression discontinuity design (RD), all units scoring on one side of a designated score on an assignment variable receive treatment, whereas those scoring on the other side become controls. Thus the continuous… read more here.

Abstract: When randomized control trials are not available, regression discontinuity (RD) designs are a viable quasi-experimental method shown to be capable of producing causal estimates of how a program or intervention affects an outcome. While the… read more here.
