Somers, Marie-Andrée; Zhu, Pei; Jacob, Robin; Bloom, Howard – MDRC, 2013
In this paper, we examine the validity and precision of two nonexperimental study designs (NXDs) that can be used in educational evaluation: the comparative interrupted time series (CITS) design and the difference-in-difference (DD) design. In a CITS design, program impacts are evaluated by looking at whether the treatment group deviates from its…
