A Regression-Discontinuity Test of a Home Router's Rounded Daily Cap in 146 Households
A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement treats a home router's minute-rounded daily screen-time cap as a natural experiment, comparing 146 households whose children fall just above and just below the cutoff on an ordinary day. Children cut off within a minute of the cap use 9.4 more minutes online the following day than children left running to just under it, an effect largest on days the router's countdown warning never fired.
