Do you have 2 time periods or many? In the case of 2 time periods, the easiest is to just run causal forests as-is on first differences Y{i,post} - Y{i,pre}. This paper discusses the statistical setting:
Abadie, Alberto. "Semiparametric difference-in-differences estimators." The Review of Economic Studies 72.1 (2005): 1-19.
For an application using this kind of approach, see:
Wang, Guihua. "The Effect of Medicaid Expansion on Wait Time in the Emergency Department." Management Science, forthcoming.
Hello:
I am new here. Does anybody know how to set up a causal tree in a diff-in-diff setting with observational data? Is anyone aware of any papers where this has been done?
Any help would be much appreciated!
