Abstract

This presentation will review main methodological results from the regression-discontinuity (RD) design literature, and illustrate them using the Stata RDROBUST package provided by the authors. More information about the Stata package and background methodological/theoretical papers may be obtained here: https://sites.google.com/a/umich.edu/rdrobust/implementation-in-stata If time permits, I will also discuss two on-going research on RD methods and its corresponding Stata implementations. The first project focuses on RD inference under a local randomization assumption, while the second project discusses a new manipulation test for RD designs.
