What might be the identification challenges with a generalized DiD model where the treatment variable experiences reversals (switches on/off)?
I have a setting where my treatment variable experiences reversals across the panel units in a staggered adoption setting. To estimate the average treatment effects on the treated in a setting that experiences both treatment reversals and staggered…

Is there any common way to do pre-trend analysis for generalized Difference in Difference?
The generalized difference-in-differences (DiD) estimator is DiD with multiple time periods and multiple groups. A very common example is when the impact of laws on firms happens at different times, in part because the laws are passed at different…

How to plot the graph or perform a formal test of parallel trends for generalized DiD?
A. Background:
Dasgupta, 2019, p. 2596-2597 create a baseline as below to study the impact of staggered design difference-in-differences (DiD):
The baseline identification:
$Y_{it}$ = $\alpha$ + $\beta$ $(Leniency Law)_{kt}$ + $\delta$$X_{ikt}$ +…

Fixed effects in differences-in-differences
In a differences-in-differences it is quite typical to have
$y_{ist} = \lambda_t + \alpha_s + \beta_1D_{s,t} + \epsilon_{ist}$,
where $\lambda_t$ is a time fixed effect and $\alpha_s$ is a group fixed effect. $\beta_1$ is the coefficient of…

When we can ignore clustering?
I think it is a practical headache rising when doing empirical research. I am examining the impact of anticollusion laws on firms' asset growth as Dasgupsta, 2019 uses the genralized Difference-in-Differences for multiple groups and time…

Perfect Multicollinearity in Difference in Differences
I have a set of cities for which approximately half received an intervention and half did not. The intervention was a drug treatment program. All the cities that received the intervention received it at the same time.
I would like to setup a DiD…

Generalized DiD - Should I drop States which are treated before my sample data begins?
I am estimating the effect of a law change on certain policies for the US states. The time period for my dataset ranges from 1980-2017. My treatment variable is a binary variable that indicates the presence of law if it takes the value of 1.
Within…

Curiousity about the treatment groups terminating in generalized Difference-in-Difference?
In generalized DiD setting for staggered laws implementation, I am wondering if the treatment can be stopped in some lags rather than lasting the whole period.
The baseline identification:
$Y_{it}$ = $\alpha$ + $\beta$ $(Leniency Law)_{kt}$ +…

How to explain the coefficient plotting as pre-trend stability testing for generalized Difference-in-Differences?
Proving the pre-trend parallel is hard in generalized DiD.
From this post, Thomas Bilach suggests me a very excellent way to do so which is called "coefficient plotting"
In short, it can be achieved by running this equation
$$y_{kt} = \alpha_k +…
