15 صفحه اولRegression Discontinuity Designs Using Covariates∗
We study identification, estimation, and inference in Regression Discontinuity (RD) designs when additional covariates are included in the estimation. Standard RD estimation and inference is based on local polynomial regression methods using two variables: the outcome and the running variable that determines treatment assignment. Applied researchers often include additional covariates in their ...
متن کاملY-chromosome biallelic polymorphisms and Native American population structure.
It has been proposed that women had a higher migration rate than men throughout human evolutionary history. However, in a recent study of South American natives using mtDNA restriction fragment polymorphisms and Y-chromosome microsatellites we failed to detect a significant difference in estimates of migration rates between the sexes. As the high mutation rate of microsatellites might affect es...
