_Note:_ The table presents the robustness of the effects of guerrilla control on the number of years of education using different polynomial orders. Panel A shows results for a constant polynomial. Panels B and C present the results using a first and second order polynomial, respectively. “mserd” and “msetwo” specify one and two common MSEoptimal bandwidth selectors for the RD treatment effect estimator, respectively. “cerrd” and “certwo” indicate one or two common CER-optimal bandwidth selectors for the RD treatment effect estimator, respectively. The Kernel row indicates the type of kernel used: triangular, uniform, or epanechnikov. Estimations across Columns show different bandwidth and kernel types and different bandwidth size. Robust standard errors in parentheses. Differences in the number of observations are due to the selection of different bandwidths across specifications. *** p _<_ 0.01, ** p _<_ 0.05, * p _<_ 0.1.
