Σύνοψη	Robust Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity Design estimates a local average treatment effect (LATE) at a threshold where crossing the cutoff raises — but does not guarantee — treatment receipt. Introduced by Calonico, Cattaneo, and Titiunik (2014), the robust framework applies bias-corrected local polynomial estimation with a robust variance estimator, correcting the coverage failures of conventional bandwidth-optimal inference in both the sharp and fuzzy cases.	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.
