Megaprojects can win votes, but they also spark resistance. We show that Mapuche attacks on highways in Chile hurt the ruling coalition’s electoral chances, while protests have no effect.

We have a new post! There's something for everyone: conditional triple-DiD, triple IV-DiD, covariate-balancing DiD, spatial Synthetic DiD, and updated DiD textbook (de Chaisemartin & D’Haultfœuille v2.0)

Donut Regression Discontinuity Designs

"While the donut approach is very popular in empirical practice, it is generally carried out in a heuristic fashion without much supporting statistical theory."

Since we're talking about the validity of close elections RDDs today, I thought I'd drop a few recent articles about issues that arise in this space so that folks can have them all in one place.

#1. Hartman (2021) shows that most tests of covariate balance around close election cutoffs fail to rule out large imbalances. Remember to equivalence test when testing for covariate balance!

#2 Marshall (2022) shows that it is far from clear what effects you are estimating with close election RDD estimates of candidate characteristics. There are compound treatments at these cutoffs!

#3 Stommes et al. (2023) shows that RDDs in political science, many of which are close election RDDs, are "underpowered to detect all but large effects." As with all low power tests, we should be wary not only about large standard errors, but also type M/S errors!

#4 de la Cuest and Imai (2016) discuss the limited external validity of close election RDDs. Generalize beyond close elections with care!

Extending the school day by 3.5 hours led to a significant increase in divorce rates, especially in municipalities with non-traditional social norms.

More than 40 percent of #postdocs leave academia. Those who landed a coveted faculty position were more likely to have had a highly cited paper, changed their research topic between their #PhD and postdoc, or moved abroad after receiving their doctorate. https://t.co/SkU2JVisuu @PNASNews -> https://t.co/GZKmXombKN #ScienceCareer

Nice stuff! Pedro knows I'm competitive, and now he's thrown down the gauntlet. I'll to have to clean up my shared Dropbox (see pinned tweet). For starters, I finally have a new version of my extended TWFE paper -- posted there. It's shorter and hopefully more to the point.
