چکیده
This is a Supplemental online Appendix, containing additional theoretical and empirical results. 1 Supplemental Online Appendix Here we provide additional supplemental material. First is some details regarding extensions to higher order derivatives and larger than marginal changes in the threshold. Next is a second empirical application, showing application of our methods in a fuzzy design context. 1.1 Extension: Higher Order Derivatives and Nonmarginal Changes in the

Identifying the Effect of Changing the Policy Threshold in Regression Discontinuity Models∗
Regression discontinuity models, where the probability of treatment jumps discretely when a running variable crosses a threshold, are commonly used to nonparametrically identify and estimate a local average treatment effect. We show that the derivative of this treatment effect with respect to the running variable is nonparametrically identified and easily estimated. Then, given a local policy i...
متن کاملInvestigating the Effects of Financial Risks with Central Bank Policy Intervention and Foreign Exchange Market Pressure on the Stability of Banking sector Based on Gerton and Ruper Model: Nonlinear Smooth Transition Regression Approach
In the present study, in the first stage, using Gerton and Roper (1977) model, the central bank policy intervention index and foreign exchange market pressure were calculated. Then, using the STAR regression model, the nonlinear effects of financial risks with policy intervention of the central bank and the pressure of the foreign exchange market on the country's banking stability are examined....

متن کاملRegression Discontinuity Designs in Epidemiology: Causal Inference Without Randomized Trials
When patients receive an intervention based on whether they score below or above some threshold value on a continuously measured random variable, the intervention will be randomly assigned for patients close to the threshold. the regression discontinuity design exploits this fact to estimate causal treatment effects. in spite of its recent proliferation in economics, the regression discontinuit...
