More and more I see the estimator for panel data I proposed for staggered DiD with time constant covariates referred to as “a Mundlak” estimator. While this is technically a correct label, I think it makes it too mysterious.

In our new paper we defined 4 investment location categories, i.e., populated smallholder land, subsistence frontier, emerging commercial frontier, and established market, across gradients of resource frontiers & agglomeration economies.

ALT We use firm- and actor-level interview and spatial data from transnational agriculture and forestry investments in Southern and Eastern Africa to distinguish four types of locations preferred by investors with varied skillsets and market reach (i.e., track record), across gradients of resource frontiers and agglomeration economies. 𝗮 Interdependencies between the determinants of investment locations. 𝗯 Variables measuring investor track record.
