This paper introduces a new estimator for continuity-based Regression Discontinuity (RD) designs named the estimated Oracle Local Polynomial Estimator (OLPE), a new consistent estimator of the target causal effect exhibiting lower bias and/or variance than traditional local polynomial estimators.

In this paper, I provide a new econometric framework to address politician characteristic regression discontinuity designs estimation bias.

This article presents a general framework for using continuity-based regression discontinuity designs as an identification strategy in multi-seat electoral contests.

We propose a framework to explain why some societies may end up with different constitutional solutions to the problem of maintaining order in the face of self-interested behavior.

This paper presents a novel pharmacokinetic model that uses Time Scale Calculus to analyze the dynamics of blood concentration resulting from multi-dose treatments.
