A Practical Guide to Regression Discontinuity
www.mdrc.orgRegression discontinuity (RD) analysis is a rigorous nonexperimental1 approach that can be used to estimate program impacts in situations in which candidates are selected for treatment based on whether their value for a numeric rating exceeds a designated threshold or cut-point.

Reviews, Reputation, and Revenue: The Case of Yelp
www.hbs.eduThe regression discontinuity design around rounding rules offered in this paper will also allow for identification of the causal impact of reviews in a wide variety of settings, helping to solve a classic endogeneity problem. For example, Amazon.com has consumer reviews that are aggregated and presented as a rounded average.
