CCT bias-corrected, robust-SE RDD inference

Usage

morie_rdd_bias_corrected(
  data,
  outcome,
  running,
  cutoff = 0,
  bandwidth = NULL,
  rho = 1,
  p = 1,
  kernel = "triangular",
  alpha = 0.05
)

Arguments

data

A data.frame holding the outcome, running variable, treatment, and any covariates referenced by name.

outcome

Character; column name of the response variable in data.

running

Character; column name of the running (forcing) variable in data.

cutoff

Numeric scalar; the threshold on running. Default 0 (the canonical normalisation).

bandwidth

Numeric; the local-polynomial bandwidth on each side of the cutoff. NULL invokes the data-driven CCT selector.

rho

Bandwidth ratio for bias correction (Calonico, Cattaneo & Titiunik 2014); default 1 (same bandwidth).

p

Integer; local-polynomial order (default 1 for local- linear). 2 picks up quadratic curvature for bias correction.

kernel

One of "triangular" (default), "epanechnikov", "uniform", or "gaussian".

alpha

Significance level (default 0.05).
