# kaal:claim:2389416-026

**Claim.** The March 2012 discontinuity estimates remain statistically significant and stable at larger bandwidths, while very small bandwidths yield confidence intervals containing zero and would not detect any discontinuity.

**Type.** empirical  **Support.** evidenced

**Holds when.**

- bandwidth robustness checks around the optimal bandwidth

**Source quote.**

> As Figure 10 shows, the estimates are statistically significant and rather stable also for larger bandwidths.
