Chapter Chapter 2 in Regional Perspectives on Policy Evaluation, 2014, pp 9-20 from Springer

Abstract: 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.
