A Partial Linear Estimator for Small Study Regression Discontinuity Designs
小样本断点回归设计的部分线性估计量
Regression discontinuity (RD) designs are a popular approach to estimating a treatment effect of cutoff-based interventions. Two current estimation approaches dominate the literature. One fits separate regressions on either side of the cutoff, and the other performs finite sample inference based on a local randomization assumption. Recent developments of these approaches have often focused on asymptotic properties and large sample sizes. Educational applications often…
