Generalizing Trimming Bounds for Endogenously Missing Outcome Data Using Random Forests
Cyrus Samii, Ye Wang, Junlong Aaron Zhou
In many experimental or quasi-experimental studies, outcomes of interest are only observed for subjects who select (or are selected) to engage in the activity generating the outcom…
Data-NoMAD: A Tool for Boosting Confidence in the Integrity of Social Science Survey Data
Sanford C. Gordon, Cyrus Samii, Zhihao Su
To safeguard against data fabrication and enhance trust in quantitative social science, we present Data Non-Manipulation Authentication Digest (Data-NoMAD). Data-NoMAD is a tool th…
Cluster-Robust Variance Estimation for Dyadic Data
Peter M. Aronow, Cyrus Samii, Valentina A. Assenova
Dyadic data are common in the social sciences, although inference for such settings involves accounting for a complex clustering structure. Many analyses in the social sciences fai…
From Local to Global: External Validity in a Fertility Natural Experiment
Rajeev Dehejia, Cristian Pop-Eleches, Cyrus Samii
We study issues related to external validity for treatment effects using over 100 replications of the Angrist and Evans (1998) natural experiment on the effects of sibling sex comp…
Spillover Effects in Experimental Data
Peter M. Aronow, Dean Eckles, Cyrus Samii +1
We present current methods for estimating treatment effects and spillover effects under "interference", a term which covers a broad class of situations in which a unit's outcome de…
Design-Based Inference for Spatial Experiments under Unknown Interference
Ye Wang, Cyrus Samii, Haoge Chang +1
We consider design-based causal inference for spatial experiments in which treatments may have effects that bleed out and feed back in complex ways. Such spatial spillover effects…
