Domain-specific¶
- Causal Inference
- Continuity of untreated potential outcomes near the threshold licenses a local comparison, while sorting at the cutoff threatens it
This sourceGives both halves: continuity of the conditional expectations of potential outcomes at the threshold as the identifying assumption, and precise manipulation of the assignment variable as the principal threat.
- Continuity of untreated potential outcomes near the threshold licenses a local comparison, while sorting at the cutoff threatens it
Mechanisms¶
- Distance Threshold Review
- Its failure mode is the cliff effect: any single hard threshold creates a discontinuity
This sourceShows how a hard cutoff assigns nearly identical cases on opposite sides of the threshold to different treatments.
