Robust confidence intervals for average treatment effects under limited overlap

Rothe, Christoph - 2015

Estimators of average treatment effects under unconfounded treatment assignment are known to become rather imprecise if there is limited overlap in the covariate distributions between the treatment groups. But such limited overlap can also have a detrimental effect on inference, and lead for...

Policy discontinuity and duration outcomes

Berg, Gerard J. van den; Bozio, Antoine; Dias, Mónica Costa - 2014

Causal effects of a policy change on hazard rates of a duration outcome variable are not identified from a comparison of spells before and after the policy change, if there is unobserved heterogeneity in the effects and no model structure is imposed. We develop a discontinuity approach that...

Proxy variables and nonparametric identification of causal effects

DeLuna, Xavier; Fowler, Philip; Johansson, Per-Olov - 2016

Proxy variables are often used in linear regression models with the aim of removing potential confounding bias. In this paper we formalise proxy variables within the potential outcome framework, giving conditions under which it can be shown that causal effects are nonparametrically identified....

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 different variance formulas obtained under different asymptotic frameworks. In the traditional approach the bandwidth shrinks to zero as sample size increases; alternatively, the...

Wild bootstrap for fuzzy regression discontinuity designs : obtaining robust bias-corrected confidence intervals

He, Yang; Bartalotti, Otávio - 2019

This paper develops a novel wild bootstrap procedure to construct robust bias-corrected (RBC) valid confidence intervals (CIs) for fuzzy regression discontinuity designs, providing an intuitive complement to existing RBC methods. The CIs generated by this procedure are valid under conditions...
