Examples
On this page, we discuss three applications:
- “The Effect of 401k Eligibility on Financial Wealth” is a toy example that shows you how you can estimate partially linear (IV) regression coefficients, average treatment effects and local average treatment effects using DML.
- “Understanding Cultural Persistence and Change” focuses on the partially linear model. The application illustrates how to employ DML in practice, and highlights some of the most important pitfalls.
- “Dynamic Effects on Hospitalization” showcasts DML estimation in difference-in-differences designs under conditional parallel trends assumptions.
We provide both R and Stata code for you to run these examples. You can also find the replication repository for the JEL paper here: link to be added.
