Description

The evidence base for this working paper is a set of four previously published education studies whose data were reanalyzed to estimate the statistical power of regression discontinuity designs relative to randomized controlled trials. The paper states it is "using data from four previously published education studies" to produce its design-effect estimates. The identities and details of the four studies are not printed on the available page.
