Nonparametric IV Estimation of Local Average Treatment Effects with Covariates
Frölich, Markus - 2002
In this paper nonparametric instrumental variable estimation of local average treatment effects (LATE) is extended to incorporate confounding covariates. Estimation of local average treatment effects is appealing since their identification relies on much weaker assumptions than the...

Including covariates in the regression discontinuity design
Frölich, Markus; Huber, Martin - 2017
This paper proposes a fully nonparametric kernel method to account for observed covariates in regression discontinuity designs (RDD), which may increase precision of treatment effect estimation. It is shown that conditioning on covariates reduces the asymptotic variance and allows estimating the...

A martingale representation for matching estimators
Abadie, Alberto; Imbens, Guido W. - 2009
Matching estimators are widely used in statistical data analysis. However, the distribution of matching estimators has … matching estimators. This representation allows the use of martingale limit theorems to derive the asymptotic distribution of … matching estimators. As an illustration of the applicability of the theory, we derive the asymptotic distribution of a matching …
