A comprehensive history of regression discontinuity designs: An empirical survey of the last 60 years
In this paper we detail the entire Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD) history, including
its origins in the 1960s, and its two main waves of formalization in the 1970s and 2000s …

Regression discontinuity applications with rounding errors in the running variable
Y Dong - Journal of Applied Econometrics, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Many empirical applications of regression discontinuity (RD) models use a running variable
that is rounded and hence discrete, eg age in years, or birth weight in ounces. This paper …

Non-parametric tests of behavior in the commons
Commons problems present behavioral dilemmas, with tensions between individual and
collective rationality. When users of a common-pool resource are not effectively excluded …

Spatially variable taxation and resource extraction: The impact of state oil taxes on drilling in the US
We estimate the responsiveness of nonrenewable resource firms to taxes on output using
spatially explicit data from the oil sector in the United States. Using a model of resource firm …

Effects of state taxation on investment: Evidence from the oil industry
We provide theoretical and empirical evidence that firms do not in general respond equally
to changes in prices and taxes in the setting of oil well drilling in the United States. Our key …

Non-parametric tests of the tragedy of the commons
The" tragedy of the commons" occurs when agents over-exploit a common resource.
Although often applied, the canonical behavioral model of the tragedy has rarely been …
