In settings with independent observations, sample size is one way to quickly characterize the precision of an estimate. But what if your estimate is based on weighted data, where each observation doesn’t necessarily contribute to equally to the estimate?
I just covered instrumental variables in my course on causal inference, and so I have two-stage least squares (2SLS) estimation on the brain. In this post I’ll share something I realized in the course of prepping for class: that standard errors from 2SLS estimation are equivalent to delta method standard errors based on the Wald IV estimator.
Regression discontinuity designs (RDDs) are now a widely used tool for program evaluation in economics and many other fields. RDDs occur in situations where some treatment/program of interest is assigned on the basis of a numerical score (called the running variable), all units scoring above a certain threshold receiving treatment and all units scoring at or below the threshold having treatment withheld (or vice versa, with treatment assigned to units scoring below the threshold).
NOTE (2019-09-24): This post pertains to version 0.56 of the rdd package. The problems described in this post have been corrected in version 0.57 of the package, which was posted to CRAN on 2016-03-14.
