  2. Plan for today Quick talk about COVID-19 DiD review DiD full example

  3. Quick talk about COVID-19

  4. What is all this? New virus in the coronavirus family Officially named SARS-COV-2 Causes respiratory disease named COVID-19

  5. What is all this? Originated in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China Don’t call it “Chinese Coronavirus” or “Kung Flu” or other xenophobic names!

  6. Symptoms Fever and dry cough initially; pneumonia-like respiratory failure later for vulnerable people Up to two weeks can pass between exposure and symptoms Asymptomatic transmission likely possible

  7. Lethality

  8. Lethality

  9. Why is everything shutting down? Flattening the curve

  10. If you’re young and healthy, all these cancellations and precautions are not about you! Social distancing, staying home, washing your hands, etc. protects the vulnerable Huge collective action problem!

  11. What you can do Wash hands for 20 seconds, disinfect phone, don’t touch your face Stay home if you’re sick Practice social distancing Limit non-essential travel Don’t buy masks Stock up on essentials but don’t hoard

  13. What does this mean for our class? I HAVE NO IDEA YET GSU hasn’t made any official decisions I’m committed to helping you all succeed and keep learning! I’ll continue to stream class via WebEx 2-week late work window is eliminated

  14. Two wrongs make a right

  15. Raising the minimum wage What happens if you raise the minimum wage? Economic theory says there should be fewer jobs New Jersey in 1992 $4.25 → $5.05

  16. Before vs. after Average fast food jobs in NJ Before: 20.44 After: 21.03 ∆ : 0.59 Is this the causal effect?

  17. Treatment vs. control Average fast food jobs in states PA after : 21.17 NJ after : 21.03 ∆ : − 0.14 Is this the causal effect?

  18. Problems Comparing only before/after Impossible to know if growth happened because of treatment or just naturally Comparing only treatment/control Impossible to know if any changes happened because of natural growth

  28. Finding all the group means is tedious though! What if there are other backdoors to worry about? Regression to the rescue!
