最小假设下含协变量的断点回归平均处理效应估计AI 解读

We study regression discontinuity designs with the use of additional covariates for estimation of the average treatment effect. We provide a detailed proof of asymptotic normality of the covariate-adjusted estimator under minimal assumptions, which may serve as an accessible text to the mathematics behind regression discontinuity with covariates. In addition, this proof carries at least three benefits. First of all, it allows to draw straightforward consequences concerning…

具有高维协变量的断点回归设计推断AI 解读

We study regression discontinuity designs in which many predetermined covariates, possibly much more than the number of observations, can be used to increase the precision of treatment effect estimates. We consider a two-step estimator which first selects a small number of "important" covariates through a localized Lasso-type procedure, and then, in a second step, estimates the treatment effect by including the selected covariates linearly into the usual local linear…
