Abstract

This chapter introduces the identification and estimation of policy effects when outcome variables can be ordered according to a given variable and when the treatment occurs at a given point. The structural change occurring in the outcome variable is in such a case assumed to be the effect of the policy. The assumptions behind Regression Discontinuity Design are hence discussed alongside with extensions for heterogeneous effect.

For simplicity, we admittedly omit the issue that data are counts and not continuous.
