Generalized Synthetic Control Method: Causal Inference with Interactive Fixed E ects Models
Di erence-in-di erences (DID) is commonly used for causal inference in time-series cross-sectional data. It requires the assumption that the average outcomes of treated and control units would have followed parallel paths in the absence of treatment. In this paper, we propose a method that not only relaxes this o en-violated assumption, but also unifies the synthetic control method (Abadie, Dia...
متن کاملGeneralized Least Squares Inference in Panel and Multilevel Models with Serial Correlation and Fixed Effects
In this paper, I consider generalized least squares (GLS) estimation in fixed effects panel and multilevel models with autocorrelation. A complication which arises in implementing GLS estimation in these settings is that standard estimators of the covariance parameters necessary for obtaining the feasible GLS estimates will typically be inconsistent due to the inclusion of individual specific f...
متن کاملWELCOME . Do Value - Added Models Add Value ? Tracking , Fixed Effects , and Causal Inference Jesse Rothstein
Researchers conducting non-experimental studies of panel data often attempt to remove the potentially biasing effects of individual heterogeneity through the inclusion of fixed effects. I evaluate so-called Value Added Models (VAMs) that attempt to identify teachers effects on student achievement. I develop falsification tests based on the assumption that teachers in later grades cannot have...
متن کاملInference on Causal Effects in a Generalized Regression Kink Design
We consider nonparametric identification and estimation in a nonseparable model where a continuous regressor of interest is a known, deterministic, but kinked function of an observed assignment variable. This design arises in many institutional settings where a policy variable (such as weekly unemployment benefits) is determined by an observed but potentially endogenous assignment variable (lik...
متن کاملDynamic Linear Panel Regression Models with Interactive Fixed Effects
In the last step we used Assumption ID(ii). Because E [ Tr (e′e) ∣∣∣λ0, f , w] is independent of β, λ, f , we find minimizing Q(β, λ, f) is equivalent to minimizing Q∗(β, λ, f).
