چکیده انگلیسی


- Develop a difference-in-differences estimator for spatial data.
- Allow for local spatial interaction in potential outcomes.
- Identify direct and indirect treatment effects.
- Monte Carlo simulations show good finite sample performance.

We consider treatment effect estimation via a difference-in-difference approach for spatial data with local spatial interaction such that the potential outcome of observed units depends on their own treatment as well as on the treatment status of proximate neighbors. We show that under standard assumptions (common trend and ignorability) a straightforward spatially explicit version of the benchmark difference-in-differences regression is capable of identifying both direct and indirect treatment effects. We demonstrate the finite sample performance of our spatial estimator via Monte Carlo simulations.
