There may be concerns that including date of birth of parents (converted to a continuous variable) as a cubic polynomial and using a dummy variable for being affected by RoSLA (being born after September 1957) is not correctly modeling the discontinuity in educational attainment and only picks up a general upward trend in parental educational attainment.
I then instrument for educational attainment with a regression discontinuity design that estimates the increase in education due to compulsory educational reforms.
This paper investigates the impact of high school quality on students' educational attainment using a regression discontinuity research design based on entrance examination score thresholds that strictly determine admission to the magnet high schools.
The regression discontinuity design first appeared in the educational psychology literature in 1960, was further developed in the 1970s and 1980s, and has become well established in economics over the last 2 decades.
We implement a regression discontinuity design to estimate the increase in educational attainment due to changes in compulsory education laws in 20th century Europe.
In this paper, we exploit the negative educational shock caused by the Chinese Cultural Revolution to apply a regression discontinuity method in identifying the causal effects of education on health.
Using a regression discontinuity design, we study the impact of two fellowship programs recognizing educational performance in secondary schools in India.
This study examines the causal impacts of a school management program on educational outcomes in São Paulo/Brazil, estimated with the use of a fuzzy regression discontinuity design.
The evidence for the influence of moderating factors that may explain such discontinuity is sparse, but may include the role of gender,, relationship quality, and educational attainment., Further studies are required to find out why some people repeat the parenting behaviours they experienced while growing up, yet others do not.
Exploiting the rules on elementary school entry and timing of the reform, we use a regression discontinuity design and pooled Labor Force Surveys 2000 2012 to analyze the effect of the reform on educational attainment and labor market outcomes.
