Robustness and Sensitivity to Modeling Assumptions
Sat, September 7, 2:00 to 3:30pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center (PCC), 106BSession Submission Type: Created Panel
Session Description
The panel offers novel approaches to evaluating robustness of models and designs to violations of their standard assumptions. Covering questions on model specification, variable operationalization, external validity, power calculations, and discontinuities in RDDs, the papers leverage recent advances in econometrics and machine learning to explore the sensitivity of results to researcher decisions and modeling assumptions.
