CRAN status CRAN RStudio mirror downloads

Overview

The eventstudyr package implements tools for estimating linear panel event study models, following the recommendations in Freyaldenhoven et al. (2021). Includes sup-t bands, testing for key hypotheses, least wiggly path through the Wald region. Allows instrumental variables estimation following Freyaldenhoven et al. (2019).

Installation

# Install from CRAN
install.packages("eventstudyr")

# Install latest version from GitHub
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("JMSLab/eventstudyr")

Usage

Find a minimal example below. For more examples see the package documentation and vignette.

library(eventstudyr)
set.seed(10) # for reproducibility of sup-t bands

estimates_ols <- EventStudy(
   estimator = "OLS",
   data = example_data,   # Use package sample data
   outcomevar = "y_smooth_m",
   policyvar = "z",
   idvar = "id",
   timevar = "t",
   controls = "x_r",
   pre = 0,  post = 4
)

plt <- EventStudyPlot(estimates = estimates_ols)
plt

Event-study plot using the example data of the package and default plotting options.
