**2014**

- [2389416-027](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2389416-027) [empirical/evidenced] -- Conventional, bias-corrected, and robust regression discontinuity estimators all produce coefficients of similar magnitude, between 1.13 and 1.33, each with a p-value below 5 percent, affirming the March 2012 discontinuity.
  > As Table 7 below shows, all the estimates are very close to each other in magnitude and all of them have a p-value smaller than 5%, affirming the presence of a discontinuity in March 2012.

- [2470008-036](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2470008-036) [mechanism/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Widespread filer disagreement with Form PF definitions implies that a large share of filers are uncertain how to answer, which raises the possibility that they complete the form with estimates and varied assumptions.
  > This suggests that a large proportion of filers are uncertain as to how Form PF questions are to be answered. This uncertainty at least raises the possibility that the filers are using estimates and a variety of assumptions to complete Form PF.
