Difference-in-Differences Estimators of Intertemporal Treatment Effects
We study treatment-effect estimation, with a panel where groups may experience multiple changes of their treatment dose. We make parallel trends assumptions, but do not restrict treatment effect heterogeneity, unlike the linear regressions that have been used in such designs. We extend the event-study approach for binary-and-staggered treatments, by redefining the event as the first time a group's treatment changes. This yields an event-study graph, with reduced-form estimates of the effect of having been exposed to a weakly higher amount of treatment for $\ell$ periods. We show that the reduced-form estimates can be combined into an economically interpretable cost-benefit ratio.

Two-way Fixed Effects and Differences-in-Differences Estimators with Several Treatments
We study two-way-fixed-effects regressions (TWFE) with several treatment variables. Under a parallel trends assumption, we show that the coefficient on each treatment identifies a weighted sum of that treatment's effect,…
regressionContinuous difference-in-differences with double/debiased machine learning
This paper extends difference-in-differences to settings involving continuous treatments. Specifically, the average treatment effect on the treated (ATT) at any level of continuous treatment intensity is identified using…
Heterogeneous Intertemporal Treatment Effects via Dynamic Panel Data Models
We study the identification and estimation of heterogeneous, intertemporal treatment effects (TE) when potential outcomes depend on past treatments. First, applying a dynamic panel data model to observed outcomes, we sho…
Difference-in-Differences with Interference
In many scenarios, such as the evaluation of place-based policies, potential outcomes are not only dependent upon the unit's own treatment but also its neighbors' treatment. Despite this, "difference-in-differences" (DID…
Fixed Effects and the Generalized Mundlak Estimator
We develop a new approach for estimating average treatment effects in observational studies with unobserved group-level heterogeneity. We consider a general model with group-level unconfoundedness and provide conditions …
