Contributors offer perspectives on methodological and practical issues relating to the use of regression discontinuity design in a number of fields. Their topics include identification and estimation using a density discontinuity approach, an overview of geographically discontinuous treatment assignments with an application to children's health insurance, the external and internal validity of a geographic quasi-experiment embedded in a cluster-randomized experiment, party bias in union representation elections: testing for manipulation in the regression discontinuity design when the running variable is discrete, and regression kink design: theory and practice.
