Very pleased that our local projections dif-in-dif paper is now out in the Journal of Applied Econometrics. Joint with @dgirardi.bsky.social, Jorda, and Taylor.

It's a tool that we think many applied economists will find useful (indeed many already have).

With the recent diff-in-diffs upheaval, you may have asked:

When can I get away with using two-way fixed effects?

If so, check out this new working paper!

It proposes tests for differences in dynamic treatment effects over cohorts, which allows you to explore when TWFE is likely to be biased.

A new documentary on PBS shows what it's like to care for adult family members and recounts the history of caregiving policy in the U.S. revealing why those caring for family are often on their own.

"Mothers are more affected by the school year than are fathers."

"During the school year, mothers sleep less, spend more time caring for others, and have less time for eating, free time, and exercise. Fathers experience fewer and mostly smaller changes."
