Optimal Bandwidth Selection for the Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity Estimator

Abstract

A new bandwidth selection method for the fuzzy regression discontinuity estimator is proposed. The method chooses two bandwidths simultaneously, one for each side of the cut-off point by using a criterion based on the estimated asymptotic mean square error taking into account a second-order bias term. A simulation study demonstrates the usefulness of the proposed method.JEL Classification Codes: C13, C14http://www.grips.ac.jp/list/jp/facultyinfo/arai_yoichi
