Difference-in-Difference: Recent Methodological Advances and Their Relevance to Empirical Work

AAEA annual meeting track session

The 2024 AAEA Annual Meeting Track Session sponsored by the Econometrics section, “Difference-in-Difference: Recent Methodological Advances and Their Relevance to Empirical Work” will provide an introduction to a number of recent advances in the difference-in-differences literature.  The topics include: (1) limitations of traditional two-way fixed effects regressions for implementing difference-in-differences identification strategies in the presence of treatment effect heterogeneity; (2) an introduction to new, alternative estimation strategies that are robust to treatment effect heterogeneity; and (3) a discussion of some additional issues that are frequently encountered in empirical work such as including covariates in the parallel trends assumption and dealing with more complicated treatment regimes.
