Frontiers in Difference-in-Differences Workshop. October 17th and 19th

Workshop description:This course provides an in-depth introduction to panel data approaches to causal inference. The first part of the course reviews how new &quot;heterogeneity-robust&quot; estimation strategies address some important limitations of traditional two-way fixed effects regressions in difference-in-differences applications, and then provides an in-depth discussion/comparison of many of these approaches. This part also includes a number of practical extensions such as how to include covariates in the parallel trends assumption and dealing with &quot;bad controls&quot;. The second part of the course discusses how the insights of recent work on difference-in-differences can apply in a number of other settings that frequently arise in empirical work. And, in particular, this part of the course provides connections between the difference-in-differences literature and alternative identification strategies (conditioning on lagged outcomes, change-in-changes, and interactive fixed effects models) and also how to deal with more complicated treatment regimes (continuous treatments or treatments that can change value over time).This is one of our advanced courses. These courses are designed assuming a solid foundation in the basics of difference-in-differences methodology and will cover the frontiers of the topic. A good review is the intro course: <a href="https://github.com/Mixtape-Sessions/Causal-Inference-2" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/Mixtape-Sessions/Causal-Inference-2</a>.Daily Structure:This is a 2-day workshop. The goal of the workshop is for students to gain enough knowledge from the lectures and experience from the programming activities that they become confident and capable enough to implement and interpret these methods in their own work, as well as continue to learn this new material on their own after the workshop concludes. Each day lasts 3 hours with lectures and &quot;coding together” sessions. After the first day, a coding lab will be assigned to be completed between days and then reviewed at the start of the second day.About the instructor:Brantly Callaway is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Georgia. His main research interests lie in econometrics, and, in particular, developing methods to use panel data (that is, repeated observations on the same location, firm, or person over time) to evaluate the effects of economic policies. He also has substantive research interests in labor economics and has studied intergenerational income mobility, job displacement, minimum wage policies, and unions.International and Student Pricing: Email causalinf@mixtape.consulting for student and international pricing.
