Alan S. Gerber; Donald P. Green; Edward H. Kaplan; Holger Lutz Kern, 2010, "Baseline, Placebo, and Treatment: Efficient Estimation for Three-Group Experiments", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/QZU99O, Yale Dataverse, V2
Randomized experiments commonly compare subjects receiving a treatment to subjects receiving a placebo. An alternative design, frequently used in field experimentation, compares subjects assigned to an untreated baseline group to subjects assigned to a treatment group, adjusting statistically for the fact that some members of the treatment group ma... |

Alan S. Gerber; James G Gimpel; Donald P. Green; Daron R. Shaw, 2011, "How Large and Long-Lasting Are the Persuasive Effects of Televised Campaign Ads? Results from a Randomized Field Experiment", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/UUUCUP, Yale Dataverse, V2
We report the results of the first large-scale experiment involving paid political advertising. During the opening months of a 2006 gubernatorial campaign, approximately $2 million of television and radio advertising on behalf of the incumbent candidate was deployed experimentally. In each experimental media market, the launch date and volume of te... |

Kevin Arceneaux; Alan S. Gerber; Donald P. Green, 2010, "A Cautionary Note on the Use of Matching to Estimate Causal Effects: An Empirical Example Comparing Matching Estimates to an Experimental Benchmark", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/0IUZDB, Yale Dataverse, V2
In recent years, social scientists have increasingly turned to matching as a method for drawing causal inferences from observational data. Matching compares those who receive a treatment to those with similar background attributes who do not receive a treatment. Researchers who use matching frequently tout its ability to reduce bias, particularly w... |

Betsy Sinclair; Margaret McConnell; Donald P. Green, 2014, "Detecting Spillover Effects: Design and Analysis of Multilevel Experiments", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/VYS8K9, Yale Dataverse, V2
Interpersonal communication presents a methodological challenge and a research opportunity for researchers involved in field experiments. The challenge is that communication among subjects blurs the line between treatment and control conditions. When treatment effects are transmitted from subject to subject, the stable unit treatment value assumpti... |

Donald P. Green; Daniel Winik, 2011, "Using Random Judge Assignments to Estimate the Effects of Incarceration and Probation on Recidivism Among Drug Offenders", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/XPEJPZ, Yale Dataverse, V2
Most prior studies of recidivism have used observational data to estimate the causal effect of imprisonment or probation on the probability that a convicted individual is rearrested after release. Few studies have taken advantage of the fact that, in some jurisdictions, defendants are assigned randomly to judges who vary in sentencing tendencies. T... |

Kevin Arceneaux; Alan S. Gerber; Donald P. Green, 2011, "Comparing Experimental and Matching Methods Using a Large-Scale Voter Mobilization Experiment", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/XD0LK8, Yale Dataverse, V2
In the social sciences, randomized experimentation is the optimal research design for establishing causation. However, for a number of practical reasons, researchers are sometimes unable to conduct experiments and must rely on observational data. In an effort to develop estimators that can approximate experimental results using observational data,... |

Kenneth Scheve; David Stasavage, 2011, "Comparative Inheritance Taxation Database", https://doi.org/10.60600/YU/ZKGHPB, Yale Dataverse, V2
In this article we use an original data set to provide the first empirical analysis of the political economy of inherited wealth taxation that covers a significant number of countries and a long time frame (1816–2000). Our goal is to understand why, if inheritance taxes are often very old taxes, the implementation of inheritance tax rates significa... |
