报告摘要:

Treatment effect heterogeneity has attracted significant attention in recent studies, particularly in the scope of causal inference. This paper proposes a test for detecting the unobserved heterogeneous treatment effects within fuzzy regression discontinuity (FRD) designs. The null hypothesis of no unobserved heterogeneity is formulated to derive the test statistics. The proposed test allows the treatment effect function as a more general form than previous literature. The asymptotic properties of proposed test are established by the asymptotic analysis of empirical process. The finite sample performance is validated by Monte Carlo experiments, exhibiting the appropriate size and power under both the null and fixed alternative hypothesis.
