DiD Spending Model: Close Elections #32

Closed JohnCRuf closed 10 months ago

JohnCRuf commented 1 year ago

There are 9 close runoffs in 2019 and another 9 in 2015, defining "close" as <10% voteshare gap. I need to run a diff-in-diff on this and probably and RDD to boot. Trying to determine if the precincts who support an incumbent in a given election experience a drop in spending when they're booted out of office.
