To comprehensively evaluate a public policy intervention, researchers must consider the effects of the policy not just on the implementing region, but also nearby, indirectly-affected regions. For example, an excise tax on sweetened beverages in Philadelphia was shown to not only be associated with a decrease in volume sales of taxed beverages in Philadelphia, but also an increase in sales in bordering counties not subject to the tax. The latter association may be explained by cross-border shopping behaviors of Philadelphia residents and indicate a causal effect of the tax on nearby regions, which may offset the total effect of the intervention. To estimate causal effects in this setting, we extend difference-in-differences methodology to account for such interference between regions and adjust for potential confounding present in quasi-experimental evaluations. Our doubly robust estimators for the average treatment effect on the treated and neighboring control relax standard assumptions on interference and model specification. We apply these methods to evaluate the change in volume sales of taxed beverages in 231 Philadelphia and bordering county stores due to the Philadelphia beverage tax. We also use our methods to explore the heterogeneity of effects across geographic features.
本地收益大、净收益小:波多黎各首次行业进入的直接与溢出效应
I study how first sizable industry entries reshape local and neighboring labor markets in Puerto Rico. Using over a decade of quarterly municipality--industry data (2014Q1--2025Q1), I identify ``first sizable entries'' as large, persistent jumps in establishments, covered employment, and wage bill, and treat these as shocks to local industry presence at the municipio--industry level. Methodologically, I combine staggered-adoption difference-in-differences estimators that are…
存在网络溢出的交错双重差分:识别与估计
This paper studies staggered difference-in-differences designs in which treated and comparison units can be exposed to other units' adoption. Using an exposure mapping specified by the researcher, we define realized and counterfactual exposure states and decompose the total effect into a switching effect of own adoption and a spillover effect under no own adoption. Conditional parallel trends identify the total and switching effects by matching, respectively, the…
存在干扰时的双重差分
In many scenarios, such as the evaluation of place-based policies, potential outcomes depend not only on the unit’s own treatment but also on its neighbors’ treatments. Despite this, “difference-in-differences” (DID) type estimators typically ignore such interference among neighbors. I show in this paper that the canonical DID estimators generally fail to identify interesting causal effects in the presence of neighborhood interference. To incorporate interference structure…
网络依赖与干扰下双重差分的高效非参数估计
Differences-in-differences (DiD) is a causal inference method for observational longitudinal data that assumes parallel expected potential outcome trajectories between treatment groups under the counterfactual scenario where all units receive a specific treatment. In this paper DiD is extended to allow for: (i) non-identically distributed treatment effects and exposure probabilities; (ii) interference, where treatment of one unit can affect outcomes in neighboring units; and…
创新税:生成式人工智能采用、生产率悖论与美国银行业系统性风险
This paper evaluates the causal impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) adoption on productivity and systemic risk in the U.S. banking sector. Using a novel dataset linking SEC 10-Q filings to Federal Reserve regulatory data for 809 financial institutions over 2018--2025, we employ two complementary identification strategies: Dynamic Spatial Durbin Models (DSDM) to capture network spillovers and Synthetic Difference-in-Differences (SDID) for causal inference…
网络局部依赖下的双重差分
Estimating causal effects under interference, where the stable unit treatment value assumption is violated, is critical in fields such as regional and public economics. Much of the existing research on causal inference under interference relies on a pre-specified "exposure mapping". This paper focuses on difference-in-difference and proposes a nonparametric identification strategy for direct and indirect average treatment effects under local interference on an observed…
