Hello, I am running this code to calculate the effects of a government program on a specific bundle of indicators. I am using this code:
And the results look like this, for each of my dependent variables and treatment groups:
Estimation of treatment effects: Event-study effects
Test of equality of the effects : p-value = .40134327
Estimation of treatment effects: Average total effect per treatment unit
Testing the parallel trends and no anticipation assumptions
Test of joint nullity of the placebos : p-value = .6776617
I can see that each coefficient has a standard error, so I know there must be a way to calculate a p-value for the effects to see which of them are significant, if any, but I am a bit lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Code:
foreach sub in nivel {
foreach var in prop med {
foreach dep in $depend{
forvalues i=1/2{
preserve
keep if `sub'==`i'
did_multiplegt_dyn `dep' school_id year treat_`var' if cohort_`var'>2018 | (cohort_`var'==0 & year>2017) , effects(3) placebo(2) effects_equal controls($controls) trends_nonparam(pan_margin) weight(alumni) switchers() cluster(munid) save_results(Data\chaise\chaisemartin_`dep'_treat_`var'_bbj_`sub'`i'.dta)
local avg: di %6.4f (`e(Effect_1)' + `e(Effect_2)' + `e(Effect_3)')/3
local se: di %6.4f (`e(se_effect_1)' + `e(se_effect_2)' + `e(se_effect_3)')/3

}
}
}
