Linear panel models and the "event-study plots" that often accompany them are popular tools for learning about policy effects. In this paper, we introduce the "xtevent" package for Stata, which enables the construction of event-study plots following the suggestions in Freyaldenhoven et al....

We consider estimation and inference for a regression coefficient in panels with interactive fixed effects (i.e., with a factor structure). We demonstrate that existing estimators and confidence intervals (CIs) can be heavily biased and size-distorted when some of the factors are weak. We...
