"Monitoring through Experimentation" Please respond to the following:
1. Assume you are the program chair of an employment program for students who did not graduate high school but earned a GED (Government Equivalency Degree). You have limited resources and want to determine the factors that ensure students succeed in their jobs. Explain to the program director how the "tiebreaking" experiment might allow the program to uncover that information.
2. Develop a hypothetical example, that illustrates how and why to apply regression-discontinuity analysis. Discuss how the analysis helps to answer pertinent questions about the example.
