Nonlinear Policy Rules and the Identification and Estimation of Causal Effects in a Generalized Regression Kink Design

Card, David E. - 2012

We consider nonparametric identification and estimation in a nonseparable model where a continuous regressor of … endogenous assignment variable (like previous earnings). We provide new results on identification and estimation for these … that the smooth density condition that is sufficient for identification rules out extreme sorting around the kink, but is …
