Including Covariates in the Regression Discontinuity Design [PDF]
Journal of Business & Economic Statistics, 2017 This article proposes a fully nonparametric kernel method to account for observed covariates in regression discontinuity designs (RDD), which may increase precision of treatment effect estimation. It is shown that conditioning on covariates reduces the asymptotic variance and allows estimating the treatment effect at the rate of one-dimensional ...

Regression discontinuity designs: A guide to practice [PDF]
Journal of Econometrics, 2008 In regression discontinuity (RD) designs for evaluating causal effects of interventions, assignment to a treatment is determined at least partly by the value of an observed covariate lying on either side of a fixed threshold. These designs were first introduced in the evaluation literature by Thistlewaite and Campbell [1960.

Bayesian model averaging for nonparametric discontinuity design.
PLoS ONE, 2022 Quasi-experimental research designs, such as regression discontinuity and interrupted time series, allow for causal inference in the absence of a randomized controlled trial, at the cost of additional assumptions.

Estimating Incumbency Effects Using Regression Discontinuity Design
Research & Politics, 2018 In recent years, research on the incumbency effect using a regression discontinuity design has flourished. Although the regression discontinuity design has allowed scholars to examine the incumbency effect in various electoral settings, previous studies ...

Regression discontinuity designs in healthcare research [PDF]
BMJ, 2016 Clinical decisions are often driven by decision rules premised around specific thresholds. Specific laboratory measurements, dates, or policy eligibility criteria create cut-offs at which people become eligible for certain treatments or health services. The regression discontinuity design is a statistical approach that utilizes threshold based decision

Regression Discontinuity Designs With a Continuous Treatment [PDF]
Journal of the American Statistical Association, 2018 The standard regression discontinuity (RD) design deals with a binary treatment. Many empirical applications of RD designs involve continuous treatments. This paper establishes identification and robust bias-corrected inference for such RD design.
