Heterogeneous Treatment Effect Panel Event Study
A heterogeneous treatment effect panel event study estimates how treatment impacts vary across units and over time in a panel setting, allowing each cohort of treated units to have its own dynamic response. Seminal contributions by Sun and Abraham (2021) and Callaway and Sant'Anna (2021) showed that standard two-way fixed-effects event studies mask sign-reversing treatment heterogeneity across cohorts, motivating cohort-specific estimation followed by flexible aggregation.
