Matching
Methods and Causal Inference in Observational Studies:
This research program develops various matching methods, which allow
researchers to compare units that are similar to each other except
for the key causal variables of interest. Supported by the NSF
grant, SES-0550873. |
Design and
Analysis of Randomized Experiments and Program
Evaluation: This research program develops
statistical tools for efficiently designing and analyzing
randomized experiments in political science and public policy.
Supported by the NSF grant, SES-0752050. |
Identification
of Causal Mechanisms via Causal Mediation
Analysis: This research program develops
statistical analysis and research design strategies for
identifying causal mechanisms in addition to causal
effects. Supported by the NSF grant,
SES--0918968. |
Elicitation
of Truthful Answers to Sensitive Survey Questions:
This research program develops new statistical models to analyze
survey experiments for eliciting truthful answers to sensitive
questions such as racial prejudice and support for militant
groups. Supported by the NSF grant, SES-0849715 and the IGC
grant, RA-2010-12-013. |
