Regression Discontinuity Design

[Angeliki Skoura]

Hi Statalisters,

I' am a bit confused about the results of my RD model. I have to examine the effect of a reform on taxable income. The contradiction is that the rdrobust shows a negative and statistically significant effect, but the rdplot does not show this negative effect. Am I making a mistake?
Also, when RD is applied, is it necessary to show the rd plot?


P.S. If necessary I will send an example table with my data.

Any help or advice is very useful.

Thank you for your time in advance.

Best wishes,

Angeliki
