Introduction to Regression Discontinuity Design. [PDF]
Ann Clin Epidemiol, 2022 It is common clinical practice for physicians to refer to specific diagnostic criteria for day-to-day decision-making. In particular, whether or not to provide a particular treatment is often determined by the cutoff value of a relevant diagnostic marker.

Regression discontinuity design with covariates [PDF]
Working Paper Series, 2007 In this paper, the regression discontinuity design (RDD) is generalized to account for differences in observed covariates X in a fully nonparametric way. It is shown that the treatment effect can be estimated at the rate for one-dimensional nonparametric

Regression discontinuity design for the study of health effects of exposures acting early in life [PDF]
Frontiers in Public HealthRegression discontinuity design (RDD) is a quasi-experimental approach to study the causal effect of an exposure on later outcomes by exploiting the discontinuity in the exposure probability at an assignment variable cut-off.

A Regression Discontinuity Design for Ordinal Running Variables: Evaluating Central Bank Purchases of Corporate Bonds [PDF]
Annals of Applied Statistics, 2020 Regression discontinuity (RD) is a widely used quasi-experimental design for causal inference. In the standard RD, the assignment to treatment is determined by a continuous pretreatment variable (i.e., running variable) falling above or below a pre-fixed

Regression discontinuity design with multivalued treatments [PDF]
Journal of Applied Econometrics, 2020 We study identification and estimation in the Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD) with a multivalued treatment variable. We also allow for the inclusion of covariates.

Another look at the Regression Discontinuity Design [PDF]
Working Paper Series, 2003 The attractiveness of the Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD) rests on its similarity to an experimental design. On the other hand, it is of limited applicability since rarely assignment to the treatment is based on known pre-program measures. Besides,
