Differences-in-Differences (DID) is one of the most widely used identification strategies in applied economics. However, inference in DID models when there are few treated groups is still an open question. We show that usual inference methods used in DID models might not perform well when there are few treated groups and errors are heteroskedastic. In particular, when there is variation i…
The literature offers several factors that explain, in greater or lesser degree, the differential learning and proficiency among students. Rivkin et al (2005) highlights the importance of teacher effectiveness in the determination of school quality in contrast to other inputs used in education. In recent years, in Brazil, aiming to expand and improve the quality of provision of education,…
The objective of this project is to identify the Marginal Treatment Effect (MTE) in fuzzy Difference-in-Differences (DiD) settings and to provide a consistent estimator for this treatment parameter. We will derive the MTE in three different settings: (I) the 2x2 DiD setting, where data is divided in two groups and two periods of time; (II) the DiD setting with staggered adoption, where un…
his project sets out to explore the econometric theory behind the newly developed difference-in-discontinuities design. Despite its increasing use in causal inference research, there are currently limited studies about its underlying principles and properties. The method combines elements of regression discontinuity and difference-in-differences, allowing researchers to eliminate the effe…
The project aims to identify the effects of providing in-kind subsidies to higher education on overall human capital accumulation. To do so, the project proposes a demand model for majors and higher education institutions and a function that uses the demand curve to estimate how private schools respond to the public provision of schooling. Once the models are estimated, it will be possibl…
The gole of this thesis is to investigate whether there is evidence of peer effects on the socioemotional competences of elementary school students. First, we focuses on a traditional model of peer effects estimation that allows the identification of the endogenous and contextual effects, controlling for the possibility of correlated effects. Then, using a database with information about …

The difference-in-discontinuities design (DiDC) aims to solve the limitations of both regression discontinuity designs (RDD) and difference-in-difference designs (DiD) by combining both temporal and discontinuity-based sources of variation. The proposed research aims to introduce a staggered DiDC framework to accommodate treatments introduced across various time periods. We will assess th…
Difference-in-Differences (DiD) is a popular method used to evaluate the effect of a treatment. In its most simple version, a control group remains untreated at two periods, whereas the treatment group becomes fully treated at the second period. However, it is not uncommon in applications of the method that (i) there are multiple time periods, (ii) the timing of treatment varies across gr…
Our objective is to evaluate the equilibrium effects of changes to the pricing rule of public colleges. In this project, we show how to use a structural model for supply and demand that incorporates heterogeneous degree quality for such a purpose. We aim to estimate and use the proposed model to discuss counterfactual policies and optimal design, calculating their effects on profits, cons…
