A regression discontinuity approach
This paper studies a program that extends the maximum duration of unemployment benefits from 30 weeks to 209 weeks. Interestingly, this program is targeted to individuals aged 50 years or older, living in certain eligible regions in Austria. In the evaluation, I use sharp discontinuities in treatment assignment at age 50 and at the border between eligible regions and control regions to identify...
متن کاملDiscontinuity Detection in Regression Surfaces
We consider the problem of locating jumps in regression surfaces. A jump detection algorithm is suggested based on local least squares estimation. This method requires O(Nk) computations, where N is the sample size and k is the window width of the neighborhood. This property makes it possible to handle large data sets. The conditions imposed on the jump location curves, the jump surfaces and th...
متن کاملRegression Discontinuity Designs Using Covariates∗
We study identification, estimation, and inference in Regression Discontinuity (RD) designs when additional covariates are included in the estimation. Standard RD estimation and inference is based on local polynomial regression methods using two variables: the outcome and the running variable that determines treatment assignment. Applied researchers often include additional covariates in their ...
متن کاملRegression Discontinuity Designs in Epidemiology
When patients receive an intervention based on whether they score below or above some threshold value on a continuously measured random variable, the intervention will be randomly assigned for patients close to the threshold. The regression discontinuity design exploits this fact to estimate causal treatment effects. In spite of its recent proliferation in economics, the regression discontinuit...
متن کاملRegression Discontinuity Design with Covariates
Regression Discontinuity Design with Covariates In this paper, the regression discontinuity design (RDD) is generalized to account for differences in observed covariates X in a fully nonparametric way. It is shown that the treatment effect can be estimated at the rate for one-dimensional nonparametric regression irrespective of the dimension of X. It thus extends the analysis of Hahn, Todd, and...
