SUMMARY:Difference-In-Difference Panel Discussion and Mini Conference
DESCRIPTION:Differences-in-differences Mini-conference \nMay 24\, 2023  \nUCLA\, California Center for Population Research \n9-11:30am Speakers hold for meetings \n12-1:30pm [CCPR seminar slot] Panel discussion: What’s new with differences-in-differences?  \nAndrew Goodman-Bacon (Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank)\, Alyssa Bilinski (Brown)\, Jon Roth (Brown)\, Pedro Sant’Anna (Vanderbilt)\, Jeff Wooldridge (MSU)  \nSHORT LUNCH BREAK & ROOM SET UP \n2:15-3:00pm Andrew Goodman-Bacon (Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank)\, Pedro Sant’Anna (Vanderbilt) \n“Difference-in-Differences with a Continuous Treatments” \nThis paper analyzes difference-in-differences setups with a continuous treatment. We show that treatment effect on the treated-type parameters can be identified under a generalized parallel trends assumption that is similar to the binary treatment setup. However\, interpreting differences in these parameters across different values of the treatment can be particularly challenging due to treatment effect heterogeneity. We discuss alternative\, typically stronger\, assumptions that alleviate these challenges. We also provide a variety of treatment effect decomposition results\, highlighting that parameters associated with popular two-way fixed-effect specifications can be hard to interpret\, even when there are only two time periods. We introduce alternative estimation strategies that do not suffer from these drawbacks. Our results also cover cases where (i) there is no available untreated comparison group and (ii) there are multiple periods and variation in treatment timing\, which are both common in empirical work. \n3:00-3:45pm Alyssa Bilinski (Brown) \n“Parallel Trends in an Unparalleled Pandemic: Difference-in-Differences for Infectious Disease Policy Evaluation”  \nOver the course of the COVID-19 pandemic\, researchers have extensively studied the impact of public health interventions\, such as stay-at-home orders and mask policies\, on disease incidence and mortality.  Many policy evaluations employ a difference-in-differences (DiD) design\, which assumes that treatment and non-experimental comparison groups would have moved in parallel in expectation\, absent the intervention (the “parallel trends assumption”).  While researchers have used different specifications to capture potential non-linearities\, the plausibility of these specifications in the context of dynamic infection transmission is less well-understood.  Our work bridges this gap by formalizing epidemiological assumptions required for different DiD specifications\, positing an underlying susceptible\, infectious\, recovered (SIR) model.  We first explore common DiD specifications\, demonstrating that these often imply strict epidemiological assumptions.  For example\, DiD modeling raw cases or deaths as an outcome will be biased unless treatment and comparison groups have the same initial conditions\, susceptible fraction\, and transmission rate (“force of infection”); using a log transformation allows for different initial conditions\, but requires equal transmission rates and and susceptible fractions among groups.  Furthermore\, even if estimates are unbiased\, both specifications are often highly anti-conservative under standard error assumptions of a stochastic agent-based SIR model.  We then present more robust alternatives\, including modeling log difference as the primary outcome and modeling the causal effect of an intervention on the effective reproduction number\, rather than cases or deaths.  We demonstrate the implications of this work reanalyzing prior work on school mask policies. \n3:45pm Coffee break \n4-4:45pm Jeff Woodridge (MSU) \n“Estimating Distributional Treatment Effects with Staggered Interventions for Panel Data” \nI propose simple\, parametric approaches for estimating distributions of potential outcomes in a staggered difference-in-differences setting. The approach relies on versions of no anticipation and parallel trends assumptions. Estimators include imputation estimators or pooled maximum likelihood estimation. The approach can be applied to discrete\, continuous\, and mixed outcomes. A leading application is estimating quantile treatment effects in staggered DiD settings for a continuous outcome. \n4:45-5:30pm Jonathan Roth (Brown) \n“Log-like? Identified ATEs Defined with Zero-valued Outcomes are (Arbitrarily) Scale-Dependent” \nEconomists frequently estimate average treatment effects (ATEs) for transformations of the outcome that are well-defined at zero but behave like logpyq when y is large (e.g.\, logp1 ` yq\, arcsinhpyq). We show that these ATEs depend arbitrarily on the units of the outcome\, and thus should not be interpreted as percentage effects. In line with this result\, we find that estimated treatment effects for arcsinh-transformed outcomes published in the American Economic Review change substantially when we multiply the units of the outcome by 100 (e.g.\, convert dollars to cents). To help delineate alternative approaches\, we prove that when the outcome can equal zero\, there is no average treatment effect of the form EP rgpY p1q\, Y p0qqs that is point-identified and unit-invariant. We conclude by discussing sensible alternative target parameters for settings with zero-valued outcomes that relax at least one of these requirements. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Lars Vilhuber\, Cornell University
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Lars Vilhuber\, Cornell University “Replication and Reproducibility in Social Sciences and Statistics: Context\, Concerns\, and Concrete Measures” \nAbstract: Replicability is at the core of the scientific enterprise. In the past 30 years\, recurring concerns about the extent of replicability  (or lack thereof) of the research in various disciplines have surfaced\, including in economics. In this talk\, I describe the context in which the current discussion in the social science is occurring: what are the definitions of replicability and reproducibility\, what is failing\, and to what extent. I discuss the currents state in economics as an example: to what extent is this a problem\, what are the approaches that are being considered\, and what are the possible broader implications of those approaches. Finally\, I discuss the concrete measures that are being implemented under my guidance at the American Economic Association\, and that are being discussed in the broader social science community. The solutions to these problems will change the way research will be taught and conducted\, in economics in particular\, and in the social sciences more broadly. The implications affect undergraduate and graduate teaching\, research infrastructure\, and habits. \n

SUMMARY:CEGA-EASST Scholars Visit from East Africa
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, March 16\,  UCLA is hosting three CEGA-EASST scholars from East Africa. EASST invites East African researchers to apply for a 4-month fellowship at UC Berkeley to build skills in rigorous social science research and impact evaluation-these are the fellows who won this fellowship.  Each scholar will present on the following topics from 12:00-1:30PM in Public Affairs building room 4240. Lunch will be served.  They will be visiting all day so let us know if you would like to meet with any of them individually. Hope you can join us. Register Here\n  \n\nSamuel Muhula: Monitoring\, Evaluation and Research Manager at Amref Health Africa\, from Kenya \n“Social Dynamics and HIV Treatment Retention: Can Non-monetary Incentives and Facility-Based Psychosocial Support Improve Patients’ Retention in the Early Stages of HIV Care?”\nSuboptimal human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) treatment retention has profound impacts on morbidity and mortality among HIV positive participants. Monetary incentives and psychosocial support have been shown to be effective in various aspects of HIV control and may improve retention of participants in the early stages of HIV continuum of care. This two-armed randomized control trial evaluates the effectiveness of social dynamics involving non-monetary incentives and facility-based psychosocial support for HIV treatment on retention in the first six months of antiretroviral therapy (ART). The control group will receive standard care while the intervention group will receive standard care and the treatment which includes non-monetary incentives and participants enrolled into psychosocial support groups. The study will be implemented in Kibera informal settlement in Nairobi\, Kenya.\n  \n\nDanish Us Salam: Senior Research Associate at BRAC Uganda\, from Pakistan \n“Play & Learn – Using Intramural Sports to tackle Health and Educational Outcomes in Sierra Leone”\nPolitical and economic pressures on education systems to improve standardized test scores have had the unintended consequence of reducing or eliminating physical education curricula and thus students’ opportunities for physical activity. Extensive scientific evidence demonstrates that regular physical activity promotes growth and development in youth and has multiple benefits for physical\, mental and cognitive health whereas the lack of it can be detrimental to optimizing child health and development. I propose an experiment to test whether introducing a sport’s curriculum in under-resourced schools can drive health and educational outcomes among primary and secondary school students. More specifically\, I’m interested in the impact of supervised sports participation and school-sport performance-linked cash benefits in curbing teacher absenteeism\, teacher effort and improving student health and educational status across gender\, class level and socio-economic status.\n  \n\nPatrick Okello: Research Fellow at BRAC Uganda\, from Uganda \n“The Unemployment Problem and the Informal Economy: Can Evaluative Conditioning increase Labor Market Engagement?”\nYouth unemployment presents a major challenge in Uganda and is estimated to be as high as 64%. Only 30% of the labor force is engaged in the formal sector as it cannot absorb the large numbers entering the labor market annually. The informal sector\, however\, contributes considerably to the national GDP. There is anecdotical evidence that the reluctance to engage in the informal sector is attitudinal rather than structural\, partly as a result of asymmetrical information flows between the informal sector and job seekers. Therefore\, job seekers delay employment in expectation of a higher reservation wage attainable from a job in the formal sector. By exposing different groups to stimuli to reshape their negative opinions about self-employment\, we query whether this could be a cost-effective way to promote labor force participation rates.
