While DiNardo and Lee also report that unionism has no effect on hours of work, a recent study of nursing homes by Sojourner et al. (2012), using the same regression discontinuity design, finds that hours of work, as a proxy for employment, decline precipitously as a result of union certification in representation elections.
The regression discontinuity (RD) approach used by Chen and van der Klaauw (2008) and the IV approach used by Maestas et al. (2013) manage to identify marginal beneficiaries.
The Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD) is used to identify the effect of the FHCI in children under the age of 5 years.
When an exposure or treatment is determined by a threshold rule, the regression discontinuity design can be used to estimate causal effects.
This discontinuity in premium payments fits within the conceptual framework of the Regression Discontinuity design.
Bin size = 0.123 Table 12 The result using a regression discontinuity design Coef.
We used this jump in premium rate to evaluate the impact of CHIP premium on insurance outcomes using a regression discontinuity approach applied to the 2003 panel of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) linked to premium and eligibility data at the state level.
I then exploit the discontinuity in credit rates to analyze the credit's impact on retirement contribution behavior using a regression discontinuity approach, and find that the credit failed to generate a statistically significant effect on the level of retirement contributions.
Using a regression discontinuity design around the conversion price threshold for those conversions that are decided by investors, not by the firm, my paper documents a 20% increase in leverage before an actual drop in leverage.
Using a regression discontinuity design and the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study Birth-cohort dataset, we find that there is an increase in rates of food insecurity for children who become age-ineligible for WIC (i.e., reach 61 months of age) and who have not yet started kindergarten.
