Regression Discontinuity and Heteroskedasticity Robust Standard Errors: Evidence from a Fixed-Bandwidth Approximation

Bartalotti, Otávio - 2018

In regression discontinuity design (RD), for a given bandwidth, researchers can estimate standard errors based on … heteroskedasticity-robust standard errors. This paper develops the "fixed-bandwidth" alternative asymptotic theory for RD designs, which … there is local heteroskedasticity. Feasible estimators of fixed-bandwidth standard errors are easy to implement and are akin …

The costs of simplicity : why multilevel models may benefit from accounting for cross-cluster differences in the effects of controls

Heisig, Jan Paul; Schaeffer, Merlin; Giesecke, Johannes - 2017

Context effects, where a characteristic of an upper-level unit or cluster (e.g., a country) affects outcomes and relationships at a lower level (e.g., that of the individual), are a primary object of sociological inquiry. In recent years, sociologists have increasingly analyzed such effects...

Inference in linear regression models with many covariates and heteroskedasticity

Cattaneo, Matias D.; Jansson, Michael; Newey, Whitney K. - 2017

The linear regression model is widely used in empirical work in Economics, Statistics, and many other disciplines. Researchers often include many covariates in their linear model specification in an attempt to control for confounders. We give inference methods that allow for many covariates and...
