报告内容提要 | |
In this presentation, we will discuss the concept of difference-in-differences (DID) and its wide applications in many fields, such as applied econometrics, accounting, social sciences and government. We will use two simple examples to illustrate the usefulness of DID and some underlying assumptions needed for its valid applications. How to make sound statistical inferences using DID will also be demonstrated in different settings. This includes proper applications of bootstrap resampling methodology to obtain statistical properties of DID. In addition, some extensions of DID will be presented. | |
