A quasi–experimental comparison to estimate a treatment effect where units are assigned to treatment conditions based on a cut-off score on a quantitative assignment variable (aka running variable).

Regression kink design
A quasi-experimental research design that estimates treatment effects by analyzing the impact of a treatment or intervention precisely at a defined threshold or "kink" point in a quantitative assignment variable (running variable). Unlike traditional regression discontinuity designs, regression kink design look for a change in the slope of an outcome variable at the kink, instead of a discontinuity. This is useful when the assignment variable is not discrete, jumping from 0 to 1 at a threshold. Instead, regression kink designs are appropriate when there is a change in the first derivative of the assignment function at the kink point.
