Period-wise treatment effects and permutation tests #19

Open JoakimWeill opened 3 years ago

JoakimWeill commented 3 years ago

Hi,

I'm trying to obtain period-by-period treatment effects and permutation tests. Because microsynth computes the cumulative sum of treatment effects up to end.post, and then conducts inference on this sum, I'm currently using a workaround where I first restrict the dataset to a single post-period and then re-run the SC estimation on the restricted sample. This is fine for a single iteration but becomes very inefficient as it scales up. I was wondering if maybe I missed a built-in option that allows the user to compute instantaneous TE and inference for pre-specified periods? Thanks for this package!

This issue has not been addressed but is under consideration for a future release, when Michael Robbins & I get a little time to make the edits.
