Estimate a equation in a panel structured workfile using the difference-in-difference estimator.
Syntax
did(options) y [x1] [@ treatment]
List the dependent variable, followed by an optional list of exogenous regressors, followed by an “@” and then the binary treatment variable. You should not include a constant in the specification.
Options
coef=arg | Specify the name of the coefficient vector. The default behavior is to use the “C” coefficient vector. |
prompt | Force the dialog to appear from within a program. |
p | Print results. |
Examples
did asmrs @ post
estimates an equation by difference-in-difference with ASMRS as the outcome variable, and POST as the treatment variable.
did lemp lpop @ treated
estimates an equation by difference-in-difference with LEMP as the outcome variable, TREATED as the treatment variable, and LPOP as an exogenous regressor.
