Power calculations for regression-discontinuity designs (2019, methodology): “See Calonico, Cattaneo, and Titiunik (2014a, 2015b) and Calonico et al. (2017) for an introduction to the commands rdrobust, rdbwselect, and rdplot for graphical presentation, estimation, and inference in RD designs using nonparametric local polynomial techniques.”
Regression Discontinuity Designs Using Covariates (2018, methodology): “The bias and variance expressions in Theorem 1 are different from those available in the literature (Imbens and Kalyanaraman, 2012; Calonico et al., 2014; Arai and Ichimura, 2018) due to the presence of the covariates Zi.”
Willingness to Pay for Clean Air: Evidence from Air Purifier Markets in China (2020, positive): “For our main specification, we use a triangular kernel, which is most commonly used in recent studies (Imbens and Kalyanaraman, 2012; Calonico et al., 2014).”
Do Investors Value Sustainability? A Natural Experiment Examining Ranking and Fund Flows (2019, methodology): “We select the bandwidth using the method from Imbens and Kalyanaraman (2012) as well as that from Calonico et al. (2014) to show the results are robust to each.”
Credit Access and College Enrollment (2017, neutral): “The Calonico et al. (2014) bandwidth selection method for a fuzzy RD suggests a slightly larger one, though the results are almost the same (the difference is at the third decimal place).”
Optimal Data-Driven Regression Discontinuity Plots (2015, methodology): “…under a mild continuity condition (Hahn, Todd, and van der Klaauw 2001), and RD estimators employing local polynomial techniques have become the default choice in the literature (see Porter 2003; Imbens and Kalyanaraman 2012; Calonico, Cattaneo, and Titiunik 2014b, and references therein).”
The Effect of Unemployment Benefits and Nonemployment Durations on Wages (2016, methodology): “12Optimal bandwidth computations (as in Imbens and Kalyanaraman, 2012; Calonico et al., 2014) are computationally quite demanding due to the large number of observations, especially when we calculate dynamic effects.”
The Incumbency Curse: Weak Parties, Term Limits, and Unfulfilled Accountability (2017, background): “See Calonico, Cattaneo, and Titiunik (2014a) for details on the STATA implementation, and Calonico, Cattaneo, and Titiunik (2015b) for details on the R implementation.”
Clicking on heaven's door: the effect of immigrant legalization on crime (2017, methodology): “We will explore the sensitivity of the results to alternative criteria for choosing the bandwidth, namely, the theorybased rules of Imbens and Kalyanaraman (2012) and Cattaneo et al. (2014) as well as a battery of heuristic bandwidths.”

Simple and honest confidence intervals in nonparametric regression (2016, background): “…CIs shrink at a faster rate than bias-corrected CIs, once the standard error is adjusted to take into account the variability of the bias estimate (Calonico et al. (2014) show 1An R package implementing our CIs in regression discontinuity designs is available at https://github.…”
