RIP Jonathan Eaton, a great economist that transformed the field of international trade. He should have received a Nobel prize for his many invaluable contributions to economics.

Superb, an updated version of the diff-in-diff estimator for cases where the treatment is continuously distributed at every period. Consider instrumental variable cases as well. Stata and R packages computing the estimators will be available soon, some can already be computed by the did_multiplegt

RIP. Bob Solow an absolute giant in Economics, has passed away at age 99. Tremendously influential in the profession and one of the key founders of the MIT Economics department as we live it today. Will be sorely missed.
