  • district trends and controls for time varying district characteristics

    Hello,
    My treatment is at the district level, lets say exposure to conflict., while the outcome is at individual level (labour outcomes)
    I run the following regression
    Code:
     reghdfe `y' `x' , absorb(year distid  distid#c.year state_year t_yr) cluster(village_id)
    where I have year fixed effects(year), district fixed effects(distid), district year linear trends (distid#c.year), state year fixed effects(state_year). I also have this annual district level time-varying variable -average temperature at the district level(t_yr).

    My question is since I already have district year linear trends does it already take care of any changes in temperature over the years?
    Is it okay to add these controls for time-varying district characteristics such as temperature or economic activity while i have district year linear trends in the model?
    What is the difference between accounting for such district level linear trends and other time-varying district characteristics?
