Small Samples and Short Panels: Evaluating Policy Evaluation Methods with Realistic Data
Luke Stewart, Gary Hettinger, Youjin Lee +1
Methods for estimating causal effects in longitudinal, quasi-experimental settings are widely used in economics, public health, political science, and other fields. However, studie…
Bayesian Sensitivity Analyses for Policy Evaluation with Difference-in-Differences under Violations of Parallel Trends
Seong Woo Han, Nandita Mitra, Gary Hettinger +1
Violations of the parallel trends assumption pose significant challenges for causal inference in difference-in-differences (DiD) studies, especially in policy evaluations where pre…
A Causal Framework for Evaluating Drivers of Policy Effect Heterogeneity Using Difference-in-Differences
Gary Hettinger, Youjin Lee, Nandita Mitra
Policymakers and researchers often seek to understand how a policy differentially affects a population and the pathways driving this heterogeneity. For example, when studying an ex…
Multiply Robust Difference-in-Differences Estimation of Causal Effect Curves for Continuous Exposures
Gary Hettinger, Youjin Lee, Nandita Mitra
Researchers commonly use difference-in-differences (DiD) designs to evaluate public policy interventions. While methods exist for estimating effects in the context of binary interv…
Estimating the Instantaneous Reproduction Number With Imperfect Data: A Method to Account for Case-Reporting Variation and Serial Interval Uncertainty
Gary Hettinger, David Rubin, Jing Huang
During an infectious disease outbreak, public health decision-makers require real-time monitoring of disease transmission to respond quickly and intelligently. In these settings, a…
Policy effect evaluation under counterfactual neighborhood interventions in the presence of spillover
Youjin Lee, Gary Hettinger, Nandita Mitra
Policy interventions can spill over to units of a population that are not directly exposed to the policy but are geographically close to the units receiving the intervention. In re…
Estimation of Policy-Relevant Causal Effects in the Presence of Interference with an Application to the Philadelphia Beverage Tax
Gary Hettinger, Christina Roberto, Youjin Lee +1
To comprehensively evaluate a public policy intervention, researchers must consider the effects of the policy not just on the implementing region, but also nearby, indirectly-affec…
