New paper: Triply Robust Panel Estimators (TROP) by @Susan_Athey @guido_imbens Zhanonan Qu @VivianoDavide. TROP estimates causal effects in panel models by combining a flexible outcome model (regularized low-rank factors FE), unit weights, time weights arxiv.org/pdf/2508.21536

In our theory we show how the estimator’s bias depends on product of imbalance across units, time and bias of the regression adjustment, so that effectively only one of these three needs to be small. This gives flexibility in the choice of unit, time weights and outcome model.
