Σύνοψη	Robust RDD extends the classical regression discontinuity design with bias correction and robust confidence intervals, addressing the under-coverage problem of conventional RDD inference. Developed by Calonico, Cattaneo, and Titiunik (2014), it uses local polynomial estimation with a bias-corrected point estimate and a wider variance term that accounts for the added uncertainty, yielding confidence intervals with correct asymptotic coverage.	Propensity score matching (PSM) is a method for reducing confounding bias in observational studies by balancing baseline characteristics between treatment groups, simulating randomization. Developed by Rosenbaum and Rubin (1983), it estimates the probability of receiving treatment given observed covariates, then matches or weights treated and control individuals with similar treatment probabilities. Widely used in medicine, epidemiology, and policy evaluation when randomized trials are infeasible or unethical, enabling estimation of treatment effects while controlling for selection bias.
