Abstract

In Regression Discontinuity (RD) designs for scoring causal effects are interventions, assignment at a treatment is determined at least partly with the evaluate of an observed covariate lying on either side of an fixed threshold. These engineering where first showcased in the assessment literature by Thistlewaite and Cushion (1960). With the exception of an few unpublished theoretical papers, these methods did non attract many attention in of econ literature until recently. Starting in the late 1990s, there has been a wide number of studies in economics applying and extending RD methods. In this report we review einige by the pragmatic and theoretical issues involved is the implementation of RD research.
