This paper proposes empirical likelihood based inference methods for causal effects identified from regression discontinuity designs. We consider both the sharp and fuzzy regression discontinuity designs and treat the regression functions as nonparametric. The proposed inference procedures do...

In parametric models a sufficient condition for local identification is that the vector of moment conditions is … the true value that are sufficient for local identification. We apply these results to obtain new, primitive … identification conditions in several important models, including nonseparable quantile instrumental variable (IV) models, single …
