pubar-research-design

separate

Use when defending the research design of a Public Administration Review (PAR) manuscript — public-management causal designs (DiD around reforms, survey & field experiments on bureaucrats/citizens, RD, IV), case comparison and process tracing, and mixed methods. PAR judges each tradition on its own terms. Strengthens the design; it does not write code.

When to use

• Defending research design for PAR manuscripts
• Public-management causal designs (DiD, survey, field experiments, RD, IV)
• Case comparison and process tracing
• Mixed methods design
• Specifying identification, case selection, or experimental design
• Preparing pre-analysis plans or pre-registrations
• Justifying design against rival accounts
• Adjudicating the strongest rival explanation

When not to use

• Writing code
