Hi All. Perhaps something useful from me. I'd like to announce that drlate, a Stata module for doubly robust estimation of the local average treatment effect (LATE) and the local average treatment effect on the treated (LATT), is now available in SSC.

Doubly Robust Estimation of Local Average Treatment Effects Using Inverse Probability Weighted Regression Adjustment

We revisit the problem of estimating the local average treatment effect (LATE) and the local average treatment effect on the treated (LATT) when control variables are available, either to render the i...

President’s Invited Lecture at #SES2026 🎓 @scoteconsociety.bsky.social We’re delighted to welcome Jeffrey Wooldridge to deliver the Scottish Economic Society President’s Invited Lecture 2026. "Simple, Flexible Strategies for Estimating Causal Effects with Staggered Interventions" #EconSky

Audience seated in a large lecture theatre at the Scottish Economic Society Conference 2026 in Glasgow, watching Jeffrey Wooldridge deliver the President’s Invited Lecture, with his presentation slide projected on a large screen at the front.

Thanks Paul. It’s nice to have a paper that’s both elegant (if I may say so) and practically useful. The conclusion is that using a particular covariate balancing PS estimator — inverse probability tilting — renders IPW, AIPW, and IPWRA all numerically identical with a linear conditional mean.

This new CESifo working paper on covariate balancing looks very interesting. @jmwooldridge.bsky.social Link: www.ifo.de/DocDL/cesifo...

3rd CINCH-dggo Academy in Health Economics

Themes: “Causal methods in policy analysis and economics of child development ”

The summer school is jointly organised by CINCH, the national research centre for health economics at the University of Duisburg-Essen, and the dggö, the German Society for Health Economics. 

The summer school will bring together a group of junior and senior researchers to share a week of expert lectures, research presentations, and special sessions. 

Expert lectures will be given by Professor Jeff Wooldridge on causal policy analysis and on the economics of child development by Professor Stefanie Schurer.

Special sessions include a “Meet the Editor” session with Erdal Tekin, editor-in-chief at the Journal of Policy Analysis and Management and Professor at American University, and sessions on academic publishing, the academic job market, and speed networking with senior
researchers. 

Each day will conclude with an attractive social and cultural program.

Target audience: PhD students and early 
career postdocs working on health economics and closely related topics. 

Only 21 students will be admitted.

Seniors speakers for special sessions: Kamila Cygan-Rehm (Technical University Dresden), Julian Reif (University of Illinois), Hendrik Schmitz (University Paderborn), Miriam Wüst (University of Copenhagen), Galina Zudenkova (Technical University Dortmund).
