Why High-Order Polynomials Should Not Be Used in Regression Discontinuity Designs (2014, unknown): “In that case researchers discard the units with xi more than some bandwidth h away from the threshold and estimate a linear or quadratic function on the remaining units; see Hahn, Todd, and Van Der Klaauw (2001) and Porter (2003).
