Samenvatting	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.	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.
