The big picture: Methods for Staggered DID

How can staggered adoption return to clean comparisons?

Why a policy analyst should care

Modern staggered-DID estimators rebuild effects from cleaner group-time comparisons instead of assuming one TWFE coefficient is appropriate for heterogeneous policy effects.

2 Explore Choose a comparison strategy
3 Formalize Cohort-time and event-time effects
4 Transfer Specify a staggered DID
