Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
In this article, I introduce the distcomp command, which assesses whether two distributions differ at each possible value while controlling the probability of any false positive, even in finite samples. I discuss syntax and the underlying methodology (from Goldman and Kaplan [2018, Journal of Econometrics 206: 143-166]). Multiple examples illustrate the distcomp command, including revisiting the experimental data of Gneezy and List (2006, Econometrica 74: 1365-1384) and the regression discontinuity design of Cattaneo, Frandsen, and Titiunik (2015, Journal of Causal Inference 3: 1-24).
