Estimation and Inference for Boundary Discontinuity Designs

Provides pointwise and uniform estimation and inference methods for boundary discontinuity (BD) designs, a causal inference design that generalizes univariate regression discontinuity (RD) designs to settings with bivariate scores. Implements local polynomial methods for location-based and distance-based analyses, including sharp and fuzzy designs, data-driven bandwidth selection, pointwise confidence intervals, and uniform confidence bands. Methodology is developed in Cattaneo, Titiunik, and Yu (2026) for location-based methods and Cattaneo, Titiunik, and Yu (2026) for distance-based methods. For an overview and empirical guidance, see Cattaneo, Titiunik, and Yu (2026) . The companion software article is Cattaneo, Titiunik, and Yu (2025) .
