I've decided to collect my DiD materials in a single place.

psantanna.com/did-resources

There, you will find
- 14 lectures of my comprehensive DiD course
- Shorter lectures/talks I have given on DiD
- My DiD R/Stata/Python packages
- Some DiD checklists
- DiD materials from my friends

Enjoy!

Our workshop Econometrics at Emory: Causal Inference with Panel Data is happening May 2–3, 2025!

🎯 We are thrilled to welcome Guido Imbens as our keynote speaker. But that’s just the start.

🎙️ We have a stellar lineup of speakers from both academia and industry to talk about causal inference!

One of the things that I love the most is to give seminars, present new papers/results, and get feedbacks.

I haven’t been able to do that as much as before (for the sake of the kids), but I’m really excited to present tomorrow at Stanford.

If you are around, come say hi!

Hope to see you there!

It just hit me that it has been 5 years since the tragic deaths of Kobe and Gigi Bryant and seven other victims.

I remembered being devastated when I heard, and that was 1 year before my kids were born!

To continue the public good streak, here are some cool materials that our @emoryeconomics.bsky.social student, Marcelo Ortiz-Villavicencio, prepared for his independent studies.

I am biased, but the slides are clear and relevant to many econometrics topics.

The book by Bibhas Chakraborty and Erica Moodie on Dynamic Treatment Regimes/RL is a helpful text, takes more of a stats perspective and mostly offline learning but has all the fundamentals using PO

I have been trying to get more familiar with the basics and advances Reinforcement Learning.

I wonder if anyone have seen a paperthat use potential outcome notation within the RL world. This would make the life of many economists much easier.

Anyone?

All help is appreciated!

Really great stuff
I've gotten a flurry of requests to access my slides on "Models, Measurement, and Language in Economics" (presumably thanks to the great new year's reading list from @rohitlamba.bsky.social). The file is publicly available via my web page, but here is the link: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ntgkb...

For those attending #ASSA2025, come to our session on ML/AI + unstructured data (e.g., text and images).

We'll have a couple of papers on the econometrics of it, and I'll talk about incorporating this type of data in demand estimation.

It's Sunday Jan 5 at 10:15 AM.

I have now posted 14 decks of slides covering a lot of DiD materials.

I also want to add a few more decks:

- Triple Differences
- DiD with Continuous Treatment
- Instrumented DiD
- Synthetic DiD and related extensions
- Heterogeneity analysis in DiD

I also want to add more applications to these!
Here are the first five sets of slides:
