Measuring the effects of European Regional Policy on economic growth: A regression discontinuity approach (2013, background): “regional policy are Mohl and Hagen (2008) and Becker et al.”
Regression discontinuity designs with unknown discontinuity points: Testing and estimation (2015, methodology): “As argued in Section 3.2 of McCrary (2008), his procedure is robust to the choice of eh, and a similar argument can be applied in our case.”
Every Breath You Take—Every Dollar You’ll Make: The Long-Term Consequences of the Clean Air Act of 1970 (2017, unknown): “We find evidence in support of these assumptions: a formal density test (McCrary, 2008) fails to reject the null hypothesis that the density is smooth across the threshold, and predetermined county characteristics do not discontinuously change at the threshold (see Appendix Table A10).”
Peer Effects of Corporate Social Responsibility (2019, unknown): “With the McCrary (2008) test result, we confirm no precise manipulation exists and the assumption of smoothness is validated.”
Does Head Start Improve Children's Life Chances? Evidence from a Regression Discontinuity Design (2005, unknown): “Often with RD designs we are concerned about the possibility of strategic behavior that may push observational units above or below whatever cutoff is used for the assignment of treatment [McCrary, 2005].”
The Cost of Grade Retention (2012, background): “One major concern with the previous estimates is that assignment around the discontinuity point might not be as good as random, invalidating the conditions required for consistency of the RD estimator (Lee, 2008; McCrary, 2008).”
