可能包含大量协变量的断点回归设计AI 解读

This article examines high-dimensional covariates in regression discontinuity design (RDD) analysis. We introduce estimation and inference methods for the RDD models that incorporate covariate selection while maintaining stability across various numbers of covariates. The proposed methods combine a localization approach using kernel weights with $\ell _{1}$ -penalization to handle high-dimensional covariates. We provide both theoretical and numerical evidence demonstrating…

模糊断点回归识别假设的检验AI 解读

We propose a new specification test for assessing the validity of fuzzy regression discontinuity designs (FRD‐validity). We derive a new set of testable implications, characterized by a set of inequality restrictions on the joint distribution of observed outcomes and treatment status at the cut‐off. We show that this new characterization exploits all of the information in the data that is useful for detecting violations of FRD‐validity. Our approach differs from and…

尖锐断点回归估计量的两侧最优带宽联合选择AI 解读

A new bandwidth selection method that uses different bandwidths for the local linear regression estimators on the left and the right of the cut‐off point is proposed for the sharp regression discontinuity design estimator of the average treatment effect at the cut‐off point. The asymptotic mean squared error of the estimator using the proposed bandwidth selection method is shown to be smaller than other bandwidth selection methods proposed in the literature. The approach…
