Compute the locally efficient doubly robust DiD estimator for the ATT with panel data.
Implements the locally efficient doubly robust difference-in-differences (DiD) estimator for the Average Treatment Effect on the Treated (ATT) defined in equation (3.1) in [1]. The estimator is given by
\[\widehat{\tau}^{dr,p} = \mathbb{E}_{n}\left[\left(\widehat{w}_{1}^{p}(D) - \widehat{w}_{0}^{p}(D,X;\widehat{\gamma})\right) \left(\Delta Y - \mu_{0,\Delta}^{p}(X;\widehat{\beta}_{0,0}^p, \widehat{\beta}_{0,1}^p)\right)\right].\]This estimator uses a logistic propensity score model and a linear regression model for the outcome evolution among the comparison units.
The propensity score parameters are estimated using maximum likelihood, and the outcome regression coefficients are estimated using ordinary least squares.
- Parameters:
- y1
numpy.ndarray A 1D array of outcomes from the post-treatment period.
- y0
numpy.ndarray A 1D array of outcomes from the pre-treatment period.
- d
numpy.ndarray A 1D array of group indicators (=1 if treated, =0 otherwise).
- covariates
numpy.ndarray A 2D array of covariates for propensity score and outcome regression. An intercept must be included if desired.
- i_weights
numpy.ndarray, optional A 1D array of observation weights. If None, weights are uniform. Weights are normalized to have a mean of 1.
- bootbool, default=False
Whether to use bootstrap for inference.
- boot_type{“weighted”, “multiplier”}, default=”weighted”
Type of bootstrap to perform.
- nboot
int, default=999 Number of bootstrap repetitions.
- influence_funcbool, default=False
Whether to return the influence function.
- trim_level
float, default=0.995 The trimming level for the propensity score.
- y1
- Returns:
DRDIDPanelResultA NamedTuple containing the ATT estimate, standard error, confidence interval, bootstrap draws, and influence function.

Notes
This estimator makes use of a logistic propensity score model for the probability of being in the treated group, and of a linear regression model for the outcome evolution among the comparison units.
