Inference in Regression Discontinuity Designs with a Discrete Running Variable

Kolesár, Michal; Rothe, Christoph - 2016

We consider inference in regression discontinuity designs when the running variable only takes a moderate number of distinct values. In particular, we study the common practice of using confidence intervals (CIs) based on standard errors that are clustered by the running variable. We derive...

Regression Discontinuity Applications with Rounding Errors in the Running Variable

Dong, Yingying - Department of Economics, University of California-Irvine - 2012

running variable leads to inconsistent estimates of treatment effects, even when the true functional form relating the outcome … discrete, e.g., age in years, or birth weight in ounces. This paper shows that standard RD estimation using a rounded discrete …
