Valentim, V., Ruipérez Núñez, A., & Dinas, E. (2021). Regression discontinuity designs: A hands-on guide for practice. Italian Political Science Review/Rivista Italiana Di Scienza Politica, 51(2), 250-268. doi:10.1017/ipo.2021.27 Regression discontinuity (RD) designs have become increasingly popular in political science, due to their ability to showcase causal effects under weak assumptions. This paper provides an intuition-based guide for the use of the RD in applied research. After an intuitive explanation of how the method works, we provide a checklist that can help researchers understand the main robustness checks they should run, and a quick introduction to software implementing the design. We also provide a list of classic designs and examples of their application in political science. We hope this article can constitute a stepping stone from which researchers interested in RD can jump to more advanced literature; and which makes researchers not interested in implementing RDs better consumers of research employing this design.
