Regression Discontinuity Designs Using Covariates∗
We study identification, estimation, and inference in Regression Discontinuity (RD) designs when additional covariates are included in the estimation. Standard RD estimation and inference is based on local polynomial regression methods using two variables: the outcome and the running variable that determines treatment assignment. Applied researchers often include additional covariates in their ...
متن کاملRegression Discontinuity Designs in Epidemiology
When patients receive an intervention based on whether they score below or above some threshold value on a continuously measured random variable, the intervention will be randomly assigned for patients close to the threshold. The regression discontinuity design exploits this fact to estimate causal treatment effects. In spite of its recent proliferation in economics, the regression discontinuit...
متن کاملRobust Inference in Fuzzy Regression Discontinuity Designs
Fuzzy regression discontinuity (RD) design and instrumental variable(s) (IV) regression share similar identification strategies and numerically yield the same results under certain conditions. While the weak identification problem is widely recognized in IV regressions, it has drawn much less attention in fuzzy RD designs, where the standard t-test can also suffer from asymptotic size distortio...
متن کاملUnderstanding Regression Discontinuity Designs As Observational Studies
Thistlethwaite and Campbell (1960) proposed to use a “regression-discontinuity analysis” in settings where exposure to a treatment or intervention is determined by an observable score and a fixed cutoff. The type of setting they described, now widely known as the regression discontinuity (RD) design, is one where units receive a score, and a binary treatment is assigned according to a very spec...
