Regression discontinuity is a popular tool for analyzing economic policies or treatment interventions. This research extends the classic static RD model to a dynamic framework, where observations are eligible for repeated RD events and, therefore, treatments. Such dynamics often complicate the identification and estimation of long‐term average treatment effects. Empirical papers with such designs have so far ignored the dynamics or adopted restrictive identifying assumptions. This paper presents identification strategies under various sets of weaker identifying assumptions and proposes associated estimation and inference methods. The proposed methods are applied to revisit the seminal study of Cellini, Ferreira, and Rothstein (2010) on long‐term effects of California local school bonds.
