Comment: Protocols for Observational Studies: An Application to Regression Discontinuity Designs

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

In his 2022 IMS Medallion Lecture delivered at the Joint Statistical Meetings, Prof. Dylan S. Small eloquently advocated for the use of protocols in observational studies. We discuss his proposal and, inspired by his ideas, we develop a protocol for the regression discontinuity design.
