In a traditional regression-discontinuity design (RDD), units are assigned to treatment on the basis of a cutoff score and a continuous assignment variable. The treatment effect is measured at a ...

This paper studies the validity of nonparametric tests used in the regression discontinuity design. The null hypothesis of interest is that the average treatment effect at the threshold in the ...

R3D brings your regression discontinuity designs into the third dimension by handling distributional outcomes instead of just scalar responses. When your treatment effect isn't just a single number ...
