It would not be great if the effect of your covariate varies on the two sides as you assume that there is no discontinuity in other variables at the theshold...

Emne: st: RDD robustness check: Controlling for covariates?
Dear list members,
just as a robustness check (not for the main estimates) for a regression discontinuity design, I'd like to test whether results change when I control for a covariate.
However, I'm unsure whether I should just control for the covariate in the same way on both sides of the threshold, or whether I need to allow the effect of the covariate to vary between the two sides, i.e.
should I use
- reg outcome T forcingvar T_forcingvar covar - or
- - reg outcome T forcingvar T_forcingvar covar T_covar- ?
Thanks so much and best regards,
JZ
