Simple Diagnostics for Two-Way Fixed Effects
Difference-in-differences estimation is a widely used method of program evaluation. When treatment is implemented in different places at different times, researchers often use two-way fixed effects to control for location-specific and period-specific shocks. Such estimates can be severely biased when treatment effects change over time within treated units. I review the sources of this bias and propose several simple diagnostics for assessing its likely severity. I illustrate these tools through a case study of free primary education in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Difference-in-Differences when Parallel Trends Holds Conditional on Covariates
In this paper, we study difference-in-differences identification and estimation strategies when the parallel trends assumption holds after conditioning on covariates. We consider empirically relevant settings where the c…
regressionA Simple Interactive Fixed Effects Estimator for Short Panels
We study the interactive effects (IE) model as an extension of the conventional additive effects (AE) model. For the AE model, the fixed effects estimator can be obtained by applying least squares to a regression that ad…
What Are We Actually Benchmarking in Robot Manipulation?
A robotics benchmark score measures success under one fixed evaluation setup, yet is routinely treated as evidence of general manipulation capability. We identify four failure modes, each of which weakens or invalidates …
Robot ManipulationIdentification of Average Marginal Effects in Fixed Effects Dynamic Discrete Choice Models
In nonlinear panel data models, fixed effects methods are often criticized because they cannot identify average marginal effects (AMEs) in short panels. The common argument is that identifying AMEs requires knowledge of …
Discrete Choice ModelsIdentification and Estimation of Average Causal Effects in Fixed Effects Logit Models
This paper studies identification and estimation of average causal effects, such as average marginal or treatment effects, in fixed effects logit models with short panels. Relating the identified set of these effects to …
