Miscellaneous - Appendix C: Testing for Attrition Bias
Julie Berry Cullen, Brian A. Jacob, Steven Levitt
Description: This appendix presents a variety of additional tests that we conducted to examine the sensitivity of our estimates to potential selective attrition. We first show the relationship between missing outcomes and observable characteristics for a variety of different outcome measures. We next examines the sensitivity of the ninth grade reading score results to a variety of sample selection correction methodologies, including generic bounding, worst-case bounding and optimistic bounding.
