PLRD: Partially Linear Regression Discontinuity Inference
Regression discontinuity designs have become one of the most popular research designs in empirical economics. We argue, however, that widely used approaches to building confidence intervals in regression discontinuity designs exhibit suboptimal behavior in practice: In a simulation study calibrated to high-profile applications of regression discontinuity designs, existing methods either have systematic under-coverage or have wider-than-necessary intervals. We propose a new approach, partially linear regression discontinuity inference (PLRD), and find it to address shortcomings of existing methods: Throughout our experiments, confidence intervals built using PLRD are both valid and short. We also provide large-sample guarantees for PLRD under smoothness assumptions.

Semiparametric Inference for Regression-Discontinuity Designs
Treatment effects in regression discontinuity designs (RDDs) are often estimated using local regression methods. \cite{Hahn:01} demonstrated that the identification of the average treatment effect at the cutoff in RDDs r…
regressionBias-Aware Inference in Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity Designs
We propose new confidence sets (CSs) for the regression discontinuity parameter in fuzzy designs. Our CSs are based on local linear regression, and are bias-aware, in the sense that they take possible bias explicitly int…

We study regression discontinuity designs in which many predetermined covariates, possibly much more than the number of observations, can be used to increase the precision of treatment effect estimates. We consider a two…
