Key Points

  • This research aims to develop a framework for evaluating policy effects while accounting for interference among treated units.
  • Developed a difference-in-differences framework using panel data with multiple posttreatment periods.
  • Defined causal parameters under interference and established identification assumptions.
  • Proposed doubly robust estimators for valid inference.
  • Illustrated the framework through an empirical application showing its practical relevance and robustness.
  • Provided evidence that accounting for interference enhances causal parameter estimation.

Abstract

Interference/spillover is a common concern in place-based policy evaluation. This paper develops a difference-in-differences framework that accounts for interference using panel data with multiple posttreatment periods and potentially staggered treatment adoption. I define causal parameters under interference, establish identification under a modified parallel trends assumption, and propose doubly robust estimators with valid inference. The method is illustrated through an empirical application.
