报告摘要:

    This presentation explains econometric methods of regression discontinuity (RD) and regression kink (RK). There is a growing trend in the literature using RD, which is very powerful in the identification of local causal effect but relies heavily on the discontinuity of data. In the presentation, Sharp RD and Fuzzy RD, as well as the issue of selection and falsification tests, are explained. Examples from various papers will be used to illustrate how RD is implemented. RK is another method that relies on the specific property of data, i.e., a kink. In the presentation, RK is explained as a comparison with RD.
