11:15–12:15 | Dynamic causal effects for time series in Stata
Abstract:
In time-series analysis, researchers are often interested in estimating causal effects over time. These dynamic causal effects are estimated using impulse–response functions. In this talk I describe several methods for estimating impulse–response functions with a focus on instrumental variables approaches. I describe the theory, then show how to estimate effects using Stata's lpirf, ivsvar, and ivlpirf commands. I also demonstrate tools to graph, tabulate, and compare impulse responses across models.
