The idea is the following. You include the interactions of the time dummies and the treatment indicator for the first two pre-treatment periods and you leave out the one interaction for the last pre-treatment period due to the dummy variable trap. Also now all the other interactions are expressed relative to the omitted period which serves as the baseline. If the outcome trends between treatment and control group are the same, then β−2 and β−1 should be insignificant, i.e. the difference in differences is not significantly different between the two groups in the pre-treatment period.
您好!在实际中,treatment group 和 control group 是客观已知的、不随时间改变的。period=-1时虽未实施政策,但不改变treatment group 和 control group的样本划分。因此在2014年进入政策的个体其2013年的treatment=1(treatment的取值也已说明:属于treatment group的为1,属于control group的为0)。在做平行趋势检验时,应理解你想要检验的是什么:是实验组和对照组的其它特征是否相似。出发点和落脚点都应是已经划分好的实验组和对照组。
