33 Evaluation design (RDD) An eligibility criterion can be used in a regression discontinuity design for evaluating causal impact. One of the quasi-experimental methods Recall that: Attributing causal impact to an intervention requires a comparison group Approximate what would have happened in absence of the treatment One way to construct a comparison group uses knowledge of a well-understood, programme-imposed cut-off for inclusion This cut-off creates a discontinuity Dee_/Flickr

36 Evaluation design (RDD) Hypothetical large school, School A

37 Evaluation design (RDD) Dropout risk score

38 Evaluation design (RDD) Offered the transfer (50 most at-risk students) Eligibility cutoff Dropout risk score

39 Evaluation design (RD) Comparable? Dropout risk score

40 Evaluation design (RD) Comparable? Dropout risk score

41 Evaluation design (RD) Assumption for evaluating impact: these groups are similar pre-treatment Dropout risk score Note that: This assumption is partially empirically testable with baseline data But, assumption also rests on similarity of unobservables This assumption depends on an arbitrary cut-off

54 In sum Theory of change that cash transfers may improve achievement by encouraging school enrolment and attendance. In Cambodia, a CCT did increase enrolment and attendance but not test scores. In a systematic review, see similar results It is fair to say that CCTs are one of the most studied programmes in development economics. Still a lot to learn in social protection!
