New paper: Triply Robust Panel Estimators (TROP) by @Susan_Athey @guido_imbens Zhanonan Qu @VivianoDavide. TROP estimates causal effects in panel models by combining a flexible outcome model (regularized low-rank factors + FE), unit weights, time weights https://t.co/N75fLshxaG

[Golub Capital Social Impact Lab @GSBsiLab]

In our theory we show how the estimator’s bias depends on product of imbalance across units, time and bias of the regression adjustment, so that effectively only one of these three needs to be small. This gives flexibility in the choice of unit, time weights and outcome model.

Great Thursday evening at the Bay Area Tech Economics Seminar! @Susan_Athey gave a fascinating talk on using AI to estimate causal effects on individual trajectories. Loved diving into these ideas and the lively intellectual energy in the room.
