We consider the estimation of the effect of a treatment, using panel data where groups of units are exposed to different doses of the treatment at different times. We consider two sets of parameters of interest. The first are the average effects of having changed treatment for the first time...

Linear regressions with period and group fixed effects are widely used to estimate policies' effects: 26 of the 100 most cited papers published by the American Economic Review from 2015 to 2019 estimate such regressions. It has recently been shown that those regressions may produce misleading...

We study regressions with period and group fixed effects and several treatment variables. Under a parallel trends assumption, the coefficient on each treatment identifies the sum of two terms. The first term is a weighted sum of the effect of that treatment in each group and period, with weights...
