Some software projects:

• rdbounds function (Stata and R) for manipulation-robust bounds in regression discontinuity designs:
  • This is work with François Gerard, Christoph Rothe & Miikka Rokkanen, to implement the estimator proposed in their paper: Bounds on Treatment Effects in Regression Discontinuity Designs with a Manipulated Running Variable.
  • [Download from GitHub]
• Forest Conservation Targeting Tool for spatial prioiritization of forest conservation:
  • This is work with Allen Blackman, Jessica Chu, and Juha Siikamäki, and the SERVIR project. It was one of my projects while a Research Assistant at Resources for the Future.
