Essays in political methodology
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This dissertation is comprised of four chapters, each of which is a freestanding essay on a topic in political methodology. Chapter 1 introduces a new approach to power analysis in the context of estimating a local average treatment effect (LATE), where the study subjects exhibit noncompliance with treatment assignment. Chapter 2 introduces a new method in causal mediation analysis, specifically to compare the mediation effects of different treatments via a common mediator. Chapter 3 focuses on analyzing treatment effect conditionality, in particular a variant called "causal moderation, " which implies that intervention upon a third (moderator) variable would alter the treatment effect. Chapter 4 proposes a set of dynamic assignment mechanisms.
