Zusammenfassung	Dynamic Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity Design extends the standard fuzzy RDD to a panel or multi-period setting, allowing researchers to estimate how the causal effect of a probabilistic threshold-based treatment evolves over time. By combining an IV-based fuzzy first stage with time-indexed outcomes, it traces treatment effects across multiple post-treatment periods, not just at a single cross-sectional snapshot.	Instrumental variables (IV) is an econometric method to estimate causal effects when treatment or exposure is not randomly assigned and confounding is severe or unmeasured. IV relies on a third variable (instrument) that influences treatment but does not directly affect the outcome, allowing researchers to isolate the causal effect from the noise of confounding. Developed extensively in econometrics (Angrist & Pischke, 1990s–2000s), IV methods are increasingly used in health economics and health services research to leverage natural experiments and policy changes.
