Correlated Random Coefficient Distributions in Linear Panel Models
Irene Botosaru, James L. Powell
We consider a static linear panel model with both correlated and uncorrelated random coefficients, where the former can depend arbitrarily on observable regressors while the latter…
Forecasted Treatment Effects
Irene Botosaru, Raffaella Giacomini, Martin Weidner
We consider estimation and inference of the effects of a policy in the absence of an untreated or control group. We obtain unbiased estimators of individual (heterogeneous) treatme…
Event Studies with Feedback
Irene Botosaru, Laura Liu
Event studies often conflate direct treatment effects with indirect effects operating through endogenous covariate adjustment. We develop a dynamic panel event study framework that…
Time-Varying Heterogeneous Treatment Effects in Event Studies
Irene Botosaru, Laura Liu
This paper examines the identification and estimation of heterogeneous treatment effects in event studies, emphasizing the importance of both lagged dependent variables and treatme…
An Adversarial Approach to Identification
Irene Botosaru, Isaac Loh, Chris Muris
We introduce a new framework for characterizing identified sets of structural and counterfactual parameters in econometric models. By reformulating the identification problem as a…
