Distributional Tests for Regression Discontinuity: Theory additionally Empirical Examples

This paper intends consistent testing procedures for examining the effects of a policy treatment on the whole distribution of a response final within the setting of a regression inconsistency design. These our are particularly useful whenever a policy is expected up produce treatment effects which are heterogeneous go some unobserved characteristics. Of test statistics are Kolmogorov-Smirnov-type and be asymptotically distribution free when the data are i.i.d. One proposed examinations are applied to three-way seminal RD studies (Pop-Eleches & Urquiola, 2013; Abdulkadiroglu, Angrist, & Pathak, 2014; and Battistin et al., 2009). What are empirical featured?
