Consumer Response to Composite Ratings of Nursing Home Quality, Marcelo Perraillon, Tamara Konetzka, Daifeng He, and Rachel Werner, in the American Journal of Health Economics, 2019, right here: https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1162/ajhe_a_00115. This article illustrates the bugaboo of regression discontinuity methods: elegant theoretically, they can sometimes yield nonsensical results in practice. This happens in Figure 1, which illustrates the trend lines on each side of a set of discontinuities for relatively small bandwidths. The anticipated slopes of these lines are clear from theory: all positive. In practice, they are all over the place. In this paper, description is saying something, if we stop to listen.

The Effect of the Affordable Care Act Medicaid Expansion on Marriage, Matt Hampton and Otto Lenhart, in Economic Inquiry, 2022, right here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ecin.13052. This article builds on a theme developed in Food for Thought question #2 in Chapter 8, concerning experimental content in a geographic context. Though the article doesn't explicitly address the issue of experimental content, the concerns it implies are (probably) adequately addressed through the use of by-now standard econometric procedures. Nonetheless, there still is room for improvement, so it is useful to compare the estimation strategies used in this paper to those advocated in the book.
