Σύνοψη	ML-augmented fuzzy RDD extends the classical fuzzy regression discontinuity design by replacing parametric polynomial approximations with flexible machine learning estimators. Where standard fuzzy RDD uses IV-style estimation at a threshold with imperfect compliance, the ML-augmented variant leverages nonparametric learners — such as random forests or neural networks — to model both the outcome and the first-stage treatment probability near the cutoff, reducing misspecification bias while preserving causal identification.	Difference-in-Differences is a causal-inference method that estimates the effect of an intervention by comparing how a treatment group and a control group change over time. Made famous by Card and Krueger's 1994 minimum-wage study and developed in Angrist and Pischke's Mostly Harmless Econometrics, it isolates the treatment effect as the difference between the two groups' before-after changes.
