Domain-specific¶
- Causal Inference
- Continuity of untreated potential outcomes near the threshold licenses a local comparison, while sorting at the cutoff threatens it
This sourceGives both halves: continuity of the conditional expectations of potential outcomes at the threshold as the identifying assumption, and precise manipulation of the assignment variable as the principal threat.
SupportedVerified against the source
- Continuity of untreated potential outcomes near the threshold licenses a local comparison, while sorting at the cutoff threatens it
Mechanisms¶
- Distance Threshold Review
- Its failure mode is the cliff effect: any single hard threshold creates a discontinuity
This sourceShows how a hard cutoff assigns nearly identical cases on opposite sides of the threshold to different treatments.
- Its failure mode is the cliff effect: any single hard threshold creates a discontinuity
Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
