A new practitioner's guide to staggered difference-in-difference designs

arxiv.org/pdf/2503.13323

Taken together, we learned quite a bit about the design and implementation of re-enrollment interventions and used those data-driven takeaways to inform the next phase of our re-enrollment work, with an emphasis on multimodal messaging, more generous waivers, and personalized advising.

Although we showed in earlier work that the “information and one-course waiver” treatment had a positive impact on former students’ likelihood of re-enrollment, our new findings show that the intervention had no effect on students’ likelihood of long-term persistence or credential completion.

The general logic of this re-enrollment intervention was to examine whether combining streamlined information and a one-course tuition waiver would lead to increases in former students' likelihood of re-enrolling and ultimately completing their degree.

Congrats, Walt!
