Code
- stackdid
Stacked difference-in-differences, made remarkably straightforward. stackdid restructures panel data into a stack of cohorts centered on treatment events, integrates seamlessly with existing high-dimensional fixed effects estimators, and provides an assortment of options for precise model specification and robustness analysis.
- gintreg
Generalized interval regression is an advanced program for flexible regression analysis. gintreg fits a linear model with a possibly nonnormal disturbance and with an outcome measured as point data, interval data, left-censored data or right-censored data. Model heteroskedasticity in any auxiliary parameter. Seventeen distributions from the Skewed Generalized t family and Generalized Beta of the Second Kind (GB2) family are supported. A suite of postestimation features are supplied, notably including gintregplot.
