Volume 36 of Advances in Econometrics recognizes Aman Ullah's
significant contributions in many areas of econometrics and
celebrates his long productive career. The volume features original
papers on the theory and practice of econometrics that is related
to the work of Aman Ullah. Topics include
nonparametric/semiparametric econometrics; finite sample
econometrics; shrinkage methods; information/entropy econometrics;
model specification testing; robust inference; panel/spatial
models. Advances in Econometrics is a research annual whose
editorial policy is to publish original research articles that
contain enough details so that economists and econometricians who
are not experts in the topics will find them accessible and useful
in their research.
The Regression Discontinuity (RD) design is one of the most popular
and credible research designs for program evaluation and causal
inference. This volume 38 of Advances in Econometrics collects
twelve innovative and thought-provoking contributions to the RD
literature, covering a wide range of methodological and practical
topics. Some chapters touch on foundational methodological issues
such as identification, interpretation, implementation,
falsification testing, estimation and inference, while others focus
on more recent and related topics such as identification and
interpretation in a discontinuity-in-density framework, empirical
structural estimation, comparative RD methods, and extrapolation.
These chapters not only give new insights for current
methodological and empirical research, but also provide new bases
and frameworks for future work in this area. This volume
contributes to the rapidly expanding RD literature by bringing
together theoretical and applied econometricians, statisticians,
and social, behavioural and biomedical scientists, in the hope that
these interactions will further spark innovative practical
developments in this important and active research area.
