Comment: Presented at SOLE 2021This paper studies nonparametric identification and estimation of causal effects in centralized school assignment. In many centralized assignment settings, students are subjected to both lottery-driven variation and regression discontinuity (RD) driven variation. We characterize the full set of identified atomic treatment effects (aTEs), defined as the conditional average treatment effect between a pair of schools, given student characteristics. Atomic treatment effects are the building blocks of more aggregated notions of treatment contrasts, and common approaches estimating aggregations of aTEs can mask important heterogeneity. In particular, many aggregations of aTEs put zero weight on aTEs driven by RD variation, and estimators of such aggregations put asymptotically vanishing weight on the RD-driven aTEs. We develop a diagnostic tool for empirically assessing the weight put on aTEs driven by RD variation. Lastly, we provide estimators and accompanying asymptotic results for inference on aggregations of RD-driven aTEs.
