摘要翻译:
为了估计吸收治疗的动态效果,研究人员经常使用双向固定效果回归,包括治疗的导联和滞后。我们表明,在处理时间在不同单元之间变化的环境中,给定的超前或滞后系数可能会受到来自其他周期的影响的污染,明显的前趋势可能完全来自处理效果的异质性。我们提出了一个无污染的替代估计量,并通过一个经验应用说明了具有超前和滞后的双向固定效应回归的相对缺点。

英文摘要:
To estimate the dynamic effects of an absorbing treatment, researchers often use two-way fixed effects regressions that include leads and lags of the treatment. We show that in settings with variation in treatment timing across units, the coefficient on a given lead or lag can be contaminated by effects from other periods, and apparent pretrends can arise solely from treatment effects heterogeneity. We propose an alternative estimator that is free of contamination, and illustrate the relative shortcomings of two-way fixed effects regressions with leads and lags through an empirical application.
