Household electricity demand estimation: a regression discontinuity design approach
Estimating electricity demand elasticity in different sectors has been an essential research topic. Considering the fact that pricing electricity in various countries does not follow the same rules, many econometrics methods have been developed to estimate this crucial parameter. Electricity demand elasticity is defined as the percent change in electricity consumption in response to one percent...
متن کاملRegression Discontinuity Design with Covariates
Regression Discontinuity Design with Covariates In this paper, the regression discontinuity design (RDD) is generalized to account for differences in observed covariates X in a fully nonparametric way. It is shown that the treatment effect can be estimated at the rate for one-dimensional nonparametric regression irrespective of the dimension of X. It thus extends the analysis of Hahn, Todd, and...
متن کاملEmpirical Tests of the Validity of the Regression Discontinuity Design
This paper reviews the literature on whether regression-discontinuity studies reproduce the results of randomized experiments conducted on the same topic. After briefly reviewing the regression-discontinuity design and its history, we explicate the general conditions necessary for a strong test of correspondence in results when an experiment is used to validate any nonexperimental method. In Ec...
متن کاملRobust Data-Driven Inference in the Regression-Discontinuity Design
This article introduces three Stata commands to conduct “robust” data-driven statistical inference in the regression-discontinuity (RD) design. First, we present the command rdrobust that implements the robust bias-corrected confidence intervals for sharp RD treatment effects proposed in Calonico, Cattaneo, and Titiunik (2012). This command also implements other conventional nonparametric RD tr...
متن کاملRobust Nonparametric Bias-Corrected Inference in the Regression Discontinuity Design∗
In the regression discontinuity design units are assigned treatment based on whether their value of an observed covariate exceeds a known cutoff. Local polynomial estimators are now routinely employed to construct confidence intervals for treatment effects in this design. The performance of these confidence intervals in applications, however, may be seriously hampered by their sensitivity to th...
