Difference-in-differences with "bad controls"
Carolina Caetano, Brantly Callaway, Stroud Payne +1
This paper considers difference-in-differences identification strategies when the parallel trends assumption holds after conditioning on covariates that may themselves be affected…
Difference-in-Differences when Parallel Trends Holds Conditional on Covariates
Carolina Caetano, Brantly Callaway
We consider difference-in-differences identification and estimation strategies when the parallel trends assumption holds conditional on covariates, which can be time-varying, time-…
Distributional Effects with Two-Sided Measurement Error: An Application to Intergenerational Income Mobility
Brantly Callaway, Tong Li, Irina Murtazashvili +1
This paper considers identification and estimation of distributional effect parameters that depend on the joint distribution of an outcome and another variable of interest ("treatm…
Causal Inference for Aggregated Treatment
Carolina Caetano, Gregorio Caetano, Brantly Callaway +1
In this paper, we study causal inference when the treatment variable is an aggregation of multiple sub-treatment variables. Researchers often report marginal causal effects for the…
Difference-in-Differences with a Continuous Treatment
Brantly Callaway, Andrew Goodman-Bacon, Pedro H. C. Sant'Anna
This paper analyzes difference-in-differences designs with a continuous treatment. We show that treatment-on-the-treated-type parameters are identified under a parallel trends assu…
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…
