  • rdrobust question

    I am interested in having my rdrobust regression have different bandwidths on each side. I put the following down and I am curious if it is doing what I want: in the h, I put a value for the left and right side. However, I would like it to extend from the cutoff (-0.9136) to the specified value. Instead of putting in -1.0325, do I need to put in -1.0325-.9136 to get it to go to -1.0325? I am just not quite sure how the H works.

    Code:
    rdrobust `var' maxscoreraw`num' if `subsample'==1,c(`c') covs(`covs') vce(cluster refer_id) h(-1.0325 -0.5386487)
        sum `var' if e(sample)==1
        estadd scalar ymean = r(mean)
        eststo m5

    I'm not sure in this case, but the typical use of the word "bandwidth" implies a distance from the center of a kernel. You could just center your forcing variable on the threshold and then there is no distinction at all, which is common practice anyway.
