• How Do Extended Benefits Affect Unemployment Duration? A Regression Discontinuity Approach (2008, background): “3In the static labor supply literature, Lemieux and Milligan (2005) study the incentive effects of social assistance on the decision to work in a regression discontinuity design (RDD) and discuss the relationship between the RDD and the differences-in-differences approach.”
• Regression-Discontinuity Analysis: A Survey of Recent Developments in Economics (2008, background): “If individuals cannot exercise precise control over the assignment score or do not know the cut-off, then the distribution should be smooth close to the cut-off value (Chen and van der Klaauw, 2008; Lee, 2008; Lemieux and Milligan, 2008).”
• Shock-Based Causal Inference in Corporate Finance and Accounting Research (2015, methodology): “Lemieux and Milligan (2008) use a combined first differences/RD design. threshold in 2003 and 2004.”
• The Benefits of Delayed Primary School Enrollment (2012, background): “One option is to test whether the probability of appearing in the data changes discon-tinuously at enrollment cutoffs (Lemieux and Milligan 2005; McCrary and Royer 2006), but since Chile does not process daily natality records for all children, we cannot obtain data on the birth dates of children…”
• For Protection and Promotion: The Design and Implementation of Effective Safety Nets (2008, background): “In Ontario, Canada, in the 1990s, beneficiaries of a rather generous safety net program reduced their work effort by 3 to 5 percent when benefits tripled from Can$185 to Can$507 (Lemieux and Milligan 2008).”
