Regression modelQuasi-experimental / causal inference

Dynamic Panel Event Study

The dynamic panel event study is a quasi-experimental method that uses panel data to trace out how a treatment effect evolves over time — before and after a defining event — by estimating a flexible regression of leads and lags around the treatment date. It simultaneously tests for pre-existing parallel trends and maps the full dynamic profile of causal impact across multiple post-event periods.
