Tipton, Elizabeth; Matlen, Bryan J. – American Journal of Evaluation, 2019
Randomized control trials (RCTs) have long been considered the "gold standard" for evaluating the impacts of interventions. However, in most education RCTs, the sample of schools included is recruited based on convenience, potentially compromising a study's ability to generalize to an intended population. An alternative approach is to…

Kelli A. Bird; Benjamin L. Castleman; Zachary Mabel; Yifeng Song – AERA Open, 2021
Colleges have increasingly turned to predictive analytics to target at-risk students for additional support. Most of the predictive analytic applications in higher education are proprietary, with private companies offering little transparency about their underlying models. We address this lack of transparency by systematically comparing two…

Belfield, Clive; Bailey, Thomas – Center for Analysis of Postsecondary Education and Employment, 2017

This method has the advantage over ordinary least squares estimates in that unobservable, individual-level characteristics that may bias the estimated returns are differenced out. But the method requires extensive longitudinal data and involves complex…
