Biography
Vivian C. Wong, PhD, is a research methodologist in the field of education. Her research interests include program evaluation in education contexts, causal inference, empirical tests of quasi-experimental designs, and addressing design, implementation, and analytic issues in regression-discontinuity design studies. She is the lead author of an RD evaluation of five state pre-kindergarten programs in Michigan, New Jersey, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and West Virginia, and is currently working on examining regression-discontinuity designs with multiple assignment variables and cutoffs.
