idid: instrumented difference-in-differences

idid implements instrumented difference-in-differences (IDiD) estimators for cohort-time local average treatment effects on the treated, \(LATT(e,t)\). The package covers both balanced panel data and repeated cross-sections, and includes the doubly robust (DR) and double machine learning (DML) estimators developed in the paper. It also provides tools for aggregating cohort-time effects into event-study and summary parameters, together with plotting utilities for inspecting the aggregated effects.

Installation

uv pip install git+https://github.com/jsr-p/idid

or from PyPi:

uv pip install idid-py

Try it out

With uv run the following:

uv run --with "git+https://github.com/jsr-p/idid" python -i -c '
import idid
import polars as pl

res = idid.estimate(
    data=(data := idid.sim_stag_panel(n=10_000, T=5, E_cohorts=[0, 2, 3, 4, 5])),
    cohort="E",
    time="t",
    outcome="Y_t",
    treatment="D_t",
    unit="id",
    covariates=["X"],
    control="never",
    method="dr",
    balanced=True,
    verbose=False,
)
print(res)
res.summary()
'

and inspect the results in the interactive shell.

Minimal Example

import idid

data = idid.sim_stag_panel(n=10_000, T=5, E_cohorts=[0, 2, 3, 4, 5])

Replication of simulation experiments from paper

Run just replication.

Notes

• When control="never", the never-exposed cohort must be coded as E = 0 (compared to the \(E = \infty\) notation in the paper).
