Panel Event Study Task

Description

Task container for panel (difference-in-differences style) event studies. This is designed for settings where units receive treatment at potentially different times, and we observe outcomes over multiple periods.

Methods

new(panel_data, unit_id, time_id, outcome, treatment, treatment_time)

Create a new panel event study task.

print()

Print summary.

Public fields

panel_data

The panel dataset in long format.

unit_id

Name of the unit identifier column.

time_id

Name of the time identifier column.

outcome

Name of the outcome column.

Name of the treatment indicator column (0/1).

treatment_time

Name of the treatment timing column (period when unit first treated; NA for never-treated).

results

Estimation results (populated after estimation).
