Title: | Introduction to difference in differences using Stata |
Presenter: | Chuck Huber, Director, Statistical Outreach |
Date: |
Tuesday, 18 June 2024 (in-person) Tuesday, 9 July 2024 (virtual) |
Time: |
5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. CST (in-person) 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. MST (virtual) |
Description: | This workshop will briefly introduce the concepts and jargon of difference-in-differences (DID) models and show how to fit the models using Stata's suite of DID commands. We will demonstrate how to fit models for repeated cross-sectional data using didregress and for panel/longitudinal data using xtdidregress. We will also fit heterogeneous DID models where the average treatment effect varies over time or cohort using hdidregress and xthdidregress. We will discuss the model assumptions and how to check these assumptions after fitting a model. We can check the parallel-trends assumption using estat trendplots and estat ptrends, and we can check for anticipation of treatment using estat granger. After fitting heterogeneous DID models, we will also demonstrate how to aggregate the average treatment effect among the treated (ATET) using estat aggregation and how to visualize the trends in ATETs using estat atetplot. |
