Staggered difference-in-differences in gravity settings : revisiting the effects of trade agreements

Nagengast, Arne J.; Yotov, Yoto - 2023

We nest an extended two-way fixed effect (ETWFE) estimator for staggered difference-in-differences within the structural gravity model. To test the ETWFE, we estimate the effects of regional trade agreements (RTAs). The results suggest that RTA estimates in the current gravity literature may be...
