Regression discontinuity (RD) methods constitute a quasi-experimental approach to causal inference that exploits a predetermined rule linking treatment assignment to a continuous forcing variable. At ...

Background: Antenatal corticosteroids reduce respiratory morbidity in preterm infants, but their use during late preterm gestation (34–36 weeks) is limited because their safety for longer-term child ...

The Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD) is one of the emerging methodology for recent policy impact assessment area. But based on the unique nature of RDD, its assumptions for practical application ...

Many empirical applications of regression discontinuity (RD) designs involve a continuous treatment. This paper establishes identification and bias-corrected robust inference for such RD designs.
