Leveraging the sharp changes in environmental regulation embedded in China's 11th Five-Year Plan (FYP), which covered the period from 2006 to 2010, we characterize the degree to which the plan softens trade-offs between emissions and output. We document that the 11th FYP is associated with...

This paper considers identification and estimation of the Quantile Treatment Effect on the Treated (QTT) under a straightforward distributional extension of the most commonly invoked Mean Difference in Differences Assumption used for identifying the Average Treatment Effect on the Treated (ATT)....

This paper shows that the Conditional Quantile Treatment Effect on the Treated can be identified using a combination of: (i) a conditional Distributional Difference in Differences assumption and, (ii) an assumption on the conditional dependence between the change in untreated potential outcomes...
