Limit Theory for U-Statistics under Clustered and Weakly Dependent Data
Emmanuel Selorm Tsyawo
This paper develops asymptotic theory and feasible inference for unbounded-kernel order-k U-statistics under clustered sampling and weakly dependent time-series. The analysis first…
A Grid-Rate Condition for Valid Uniform Inference
Emmanuel Selorm Tsyawo
Conducting uniform inference on a continuous functional F defined on a compact subset X of R^d involves specifying L_n^d nodes for estimation and the construction of confidence ban…
Beyond Parallel Trends: An Identification-Strategy-Robust Approach to Causal Inference with Panel Data
Brantly Callaway, Derek Dyal, Pedro H. C. Sant'Anna +1
In this paper, we propose a new approach to causal inference with panel data. Instead of using panel data to adjust for differences in the distribution of unobserved heterogeneity…
Difference-in-differences with as few as two cross-sectional units -- A new perspective to the democracy-growth debate
Gilles Koumou, Emmanuel Selorm Tsyawo
Pooled panel analyses often mask heterogeneity in unit-specific treatment effects. This challenge, for example, crops up in studies of the impact of democracy on economic growth, w…
Quantile and Distribution Treatment Effects on the Treated with Possibly Non-Continuous Outcomes
Nelly K. Djuazon, Emmanuel Selorm Tsyawo
Applied Difference-in-Differences studies often involve outcomes that are discrete, mixed, censored, or otherwise non-continuously distributed, while policy questions frequently co…
