Nonparametric Difference-in-Differences in Repeated Cross-Sections with Continuous Treatments
重复截面中连续处理的非参数双重差分
This paper studies the identification of causal effects of a continuous treatment using a new difference-in-difference strategy. Our approach allows for endogeneity of the treatment, and employs repeated cross-sections. It requires an exogenous change over time which affects the treatment in a heterogeneous way, stationarity of the distribution of unobservables and a rank invariance condition on the time trend. On the other hand, we do not impose any functional form…
