Introduction
Like Experimental Methods, quasi-experimental research methods are intended to satisfy the conditions where a researcher can construct a model where exposure to a treatment effect is uncorrelated with other characteristics. Unlike in experimental research methods, the investigator does not have direct control over the exposure, and instead uses "natural experiments" such as Regression Discontinuity designs to identify existing circumstances where random assignment of some treatment took place.
