Estimate the causal effect of California's Proposition 99 tobacco control program on cigarette sales using the synthetic control method in Stata, with in-space placebo, in-time placebo, and leave-one-out robustness tests
Evaluate the causal effect of a school tutoring program on student exit exam scores using sharp regression discontinuity design with parametric OLS and nonparametric rdrobust estimation in Stata
A hands-on guide to the fwlplot package in R --- from understanding the Frisch-Waugh-Lovell theorem through simulated confounding to visualizing fixed effects in real panel data --- showing what "controlling for" looks like as a scatter plot.
A hands-on guide to the scatterfit package in Stata --- from understanding the Frisch-Waugh-Lovell theorem through simulated confounding to visualizing fixed effects in real panel data --- showing what "controlling for" looks like as a scatter plot.
A guide to Difference-in-Differences with staggered treatment --- from TWFE pitfalls through Callaway-Sant'Anna group-time ATTs, doubly robust estimation, and HonestDiD sensitivity analysis --- applied to minimum wage effects on teen employment.
Assess how robust difference-in-differences results are to violations of parallel trends using the honestdid package in Stata, progressing from a simple 2x2 DiD to multi-period event studies with relative magnitudes and smoothness restrictions
