While I do not have the background that presumably most of the people on this newsletter do, I found your first post very helpful in laying out some of the intuitions for why the DiD literature has been in crisis the last ~5 years (and how the new methods have successfully addressed many of the problems). I have no idea whether RDD or IV is in a similar crisis, or if the problems they face are the same as the ones DiD faces. These papers sound quite theoretical, and as though they are about quite fundamental features of the methodologies. Is there a similar piece outlining in big picture terms why these modifications to RDD and IV are necessary / will you write one?
Hi Sammy, thank you ❤️ I only know of the summary my econ II prof prepared for us, I can send you the pdfs and the lectures are on YouTube. He goes through a bit of the methods’ development over the years https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyvUJLHD8IsJCB7ALqwjRG1BjL5JxE__H&si=JiUBcPwdFwzCMJmt I also asked some people who are leading IV scholars and will report back when they respond ❤️

I get an error 404 on both of these. It might just be a link to the file directory on your Dropbox?
Let's see if it works now:

I don’t think I’ll write about it as of this summer since I have to work on my JMP 🥲
