Manipulation of the Running Variable in the Regression Discontinuity Design: A Density Test∗
Standard sufficient conditions for identification in the regression discontinuity design are continuity of the conditional expectation of counterfactual outcomes in the running variable. These continuity assumptions may not be plausible if agents are able to manipulate the running variable. This paper develops a test of manipulation related to continuity of the running variable density function...
متن کاملTesting Holling’s textural-discontinuity hypothesis
Holling (1992) suggested the texturaldiscontinuity hypothesis (TDH) as an explanation for the clumped body-mass distributions he observed for mammals and birds. The TDH states that the discontinuous structure of a landscape should dictate the sizes of the animals that inhabit it. Holling (1992) characterized landscapes in terms of their hierarchical habitat structure, proceeding from finely tex...
متن کاملDensity-Based Group Testing
In this paper we study a new, generalized version of the wellknown group testing problem. In the classical model of group testing we are given n objects, some of which are considered to be defective. We can test certain subsets of the objects whether they contain at least one defective element. The goal is usually to find all defectives using as few tests as possible. In our model the presence ...
متن کاملTesting Exponentiality Based on Record Values
We introduce a goodness of fit test for exponentiality based on record values. The critical points and powers for some alternatives are obtained by simulation.
متن کاملTesting Stability of Regression Discontinuity Models∗
Regression discontinuity (RD) models are commonly used to nonparametrically identify and estimate a local average treatment e ect. Dong and Lewbel (2015) show how a derivative of this e ect, called TED (Treatment E ect Derivative) can be estimated. We argue here that TED should be employed in most RD applications, as a way to assess the stability and hence external validity of RD estimates. Clo...
