Recent work has highlighted the difficulties of estimating difference-in-differences models when treatment timing occurs at different times for different units. This article introduces the R package did2s which implements the estimator introduced in Gardner (2021). The article provides an approachable review of the underlying econometric theory and introduces the syntax for the function did2s. Further, the package introduces a function, event_study, that provides a common syntax for all the modern event-study estimators and plot_event_study to plot the results of each estimator.

Empirical work often uses treatment assigned following geographic boundaries. When the effects of treatment cross over borders, classical difference-in-differences estimation produces biased estimates for the average treatment effect. In this paper,
I introduce a potential outcomes framework to model spillover effects and decompose the estimates bias in two parts: (1) the control group no longer identifies the counterfactual trend because their outcomes are affected by treatment and (2) changes in treated units outcomes reflect the effect of their own treatment status and the effect from the treatment status of close units. I propose estimation strategies that can remove both sources of bias and semi-parametrically estimate the spillover effects themselves. I extend Callaway and SantAnna (2020) to allow for event-study estimates that control for spillovers. To highlight the importance of spillover effects, I revisit analyses of three place-based interventions.
A recent econometric literature has critiqued the use of regression discontinuities where administrative borders serves as the cutoff. Identification in this context is difficult since multiple treatments can change at the cutoff and individuals can
easily sort on either side of the border. This note extends the difference-in-discontinuities framework discussed in Grembi et. al. (2016) to a geographic setting. The paper formalizes the identifying assumptions in this context which will allow for the removal of time-invariant sorting and compound-treatments similar to the difference-in-differences methodology.
What mechanisms causes GANs entanglement? Although developing disentangled GAN has attracted sufficient attention, it is unclear how entanglement is originated by GAN transformation. We in this research propose a difference-in-difference (DID) counte
rfactual framework to design experiments for analyzing the entanglement mechanism in on of the Progressive-growing GAN (PG-GAN). Our experiment clarify the mechanisms how pixel normalization causes PG-GAN entanglement during a input-unit-ablation transformation. We discover that pixel normalization causes object entanglement by in-painting the area occupied by ablated objects. We also discover the unit-object relation determines whether and how pixel normalization causes objects entanglement. Our DID framework theoretically guarantees that the mechanisms that we discover is solid, explainable and comprehensively.
Since the initial work by Ashenfelter and Card in 1985, the use of difference-in-differences (DID) study design has become widespread. However, as pointed out in the literature, this popular quasi-experimental design also suffers estimation bias and
inference bias, which could be very serious in some circumstances. In this study, we start by investigating potential sources of systemic bias from the DID design. Via analyzing their impact on statistical estimation and inference, we propose a remedy -- a permutational detrending (PD) strategy -- to overcome the challenges in both the estimation bias and the inference bias. We prove that the proposed PD DID method provides unbiased point estimates, confidence interval estimates, and significance tests. We illustrate its statistical proprieties using simulation experiments. We demonstrate its practical utility by applying it to the clinical data EASE (Elder-Friendly Approaches to the Surgical Environment) and the social-economical data CPS (Current Population Survey). We discuss the strengths and limitations of the proposed approach.
We propose a novel two-regime regression model where regime switching is driven by a vector of possibly unobservable factors. When the factors are latent, we estimate them by the principal component analysis of a panel data set. We show that the opti
mization problem can be reformulated as mixed integer optimization, and we present two alternative computational algorithms. We derive the asymptotic distribution of the resulting estimator under the scheme that the threshold effect shrinks to zero. In particular, we establish a phase transition that describes the effect of first-stage factor estimation as the cross-sectional dimension of panel data increases relative to the time-series dimension. Moreover, we develop bootstrap inference and illustrate our methods via numerical studies.
