I've decided to collect my DiD materials in a single place.

psantanna.com/did-resources

There, you will find
- 14 lectures of my comprehensive DiD course
- Shorter lectures/talks I have given on DiD
- My DiD R/Stata/Python packages
- Some DiD checklists
- DiD materials from my friends

Enjoy!

My suggestion is to write everything from first principles: establish nonparametric identification given your assumptions. That will lead to guidance on what is valid or not.

Sorry for not being of kore help

Pedro Sant’Anna @pedrosantanna.bsky.social · Apr 6

No, I dont.

It depends on PT, the exact parameter of interest, and also on whethere there is treatment effect dynamics/carryover.

I dont even know how to justify a “no-anticipation” here.

Pedro Sant’Anna @pedrosantanna.bsky.social · Apr 6

A lot of papers already discuss this in great detail.

It is all about the identification assumptions and the parameters if interest of the analysis.

Hard for me to do deep dives here these days

One of the things that I love the most is to give seminars, present new papers/results, and get feedbacks.

I haven’t been able to do that as much as before (for the sake of the kids), but I’m really excited to present tomorrow at Stanford.

If you are around, come say hi!

Pedro Sant’Anna @pedrosantanna.bsky.social · Feb 23

You are a wizard!!

It just hit me that it has been 5 years since the tragic deaths of Kobe and Gigi Bryant and seven other victims.

I remembered being devastated when I heard, and that was 1 year before my kids were born!

To continue the public good streak, here are some cool materials that our @emoryeconomics.bsky.social student, Marcelo Ortiz-Villavicencio, prepared for his independent studies.

I am biased, but the slides are clear and relevant to many econometrics topics.
