Abstract

The Estimation of Causal Effects by Difference-in-Difference Methods presents a brief overview of the literature on the difference-in-difference estimation strategy and discusses major issues mainly using a treatment effect perspective that allows more general considerations than the classical regression formulation that still dominates the applied work.
