Two-way fixed effects instrumental variable regressions in staggered DID-IV designs
Many studies run two-way fixed effects instrumental variable (TWFEIV) regressions, leveraging variation in the timing of policy adoption across units as an instrument for treatment. This paper studies the properties of the TWFEIV estimator in staggered instrumented difference-in-differences (DID-IV) designs. We show that in settings with the staggered adoption of the instrument across units, the TWFEIV estimator can be decomposed into a weighted average of all possible two-group/two-period Wald-DID estimators. Under staggered DID-IV designs, a causal interpretation of the TWFEIV estimand hinges on the stable effects of the instrument on the treatment and the outcome over time. We illustrate the use of our decomposition theorem for the TWFEIV estimator through an empirical application.

More Robust Estimators for Instrumental-Variable Panel Designs, With An Application to the Effect of Imports from China on US Employment
We show that first-difference two-stages-least-squares regressions identify non-convex combinations of location-and-period-specific treatment effects. Thus, those regressions could be biased if effects are heterogeneous.…

It is well known that generalized method of moments (GMM) estimators of dynamic panel data regressions can have significant bias when the number of time periods ($T$) is not small compared to the number of cross-sectiona…
A Dimension-Agnostic Bootstrap Anderson-Rubin Test For Instrumental Variable Regressions
Weak-identification-robust Anderson-Rubin (AR) tests for instrumental variable (IV) regressions are typically developed separately depending on whether the number of IVs is treated as fixed or increasing with the sample …

Wild Bootstrap for Instrumental Variables Regressions with Weak and Few Clusters
We study the wild bootstrap inference for instrumental variable regressions in the framework of a small number of large clusters in which the number of clusters is viewed as fixed and the number of observations for each …
