Regression Discontinuity Design with Covariates

This thesis studies regression discontinuity designs with the use of additional covariates for estimation of the average treatment effect. We prove asymptotic normality of the covariate-adjusted estimator under sufficient regularity conditions. In the case of a high-dimensional setting with a large number of covariates depending on the number of observations, we discuss a Lasso-based selection approach as well as alternatives based on calculated correlation thresholds. We present simulation results on those alternative selection strategies.:1. Introduction
