Random Measurement Error Does Not Bias the Treatment Effect Estimate in the Regression-Discontinuity Design: I. The Case of No Interaction.

Cappelleri, Joseph C.; And Others

Evaluation Review, v15 n4 p395-419 Aug 1991

A conceptual approach and a set of computer simulations are presented to demonstrate that random measurement error in the pretest does not bias the estimate of the treatment effect in the regression-discontinuity design. Focus is on the case of no interaction between pretest and treatment on posttest. (SLD)
