Policy Evaluation Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity

Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity Design (Fuzzy RDD) estimates the causal effect of a policy when eligibility is determined by crossing a threshold on a continuous score, but actual take-up or compliance is imperfect. Developed formally by Hahn, Todd, and Van der Klaauw (2001), it uses the threshold as an instrumental variable to recover a Local Average Treatment Effect (LATE) among compliers near the cutoff.
