🚀 @Stata #arcplot has been bumped to v1.5 with a bunch of upgrades.
👉 The biggest feature is the ability to split the flows in the North-South quadrant by a binary variable.

What can you do with GPS sports-watch data in Stata?
Plot player movement, visualize field position, and explore metrics like heart rate and oxygen levels using exported tracking data.

Kirill and I have revised this paper with the help of some nice referee comments. Big additions include:
1. Results on the general interpretation of recentered formula IV estimands with heterogeneous effects
2. Conditions for the asymptotic efficiency of a nonparametric split-sample estimator
Enjoy!

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.

Google Stitch has released 𝗗𝗘𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗡.𝗺𝗱 🤯
One markdown file that teaches your AI coding agent your entire design system.
→ No Figma exports
→ No JSON schemas
→ Nothing to configure
The part that saves the most time:
A free collection of 40+ pre-built files already exists, extracted from real products. Stripe, Vercel, Linear, Notion, Lovable, Claude, ElevenLabs, Cursor, Warp, Zapier, and more.
Drop it in your project root. Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and GitHub Copilot all read it natively.
100% Free and Open-Source.

Results from my Claude Code audit of six Callaway and Sant'Anna packages (two in python, two in R, two in Stata). Same specification, same dataset, same covariates, same estimator, almost never do they agree.

Let's discuss different DiD estimators with unbalanced panels -- often due to missing data on Y, or attrition. I will use the Stata commands csdid and jwdid as part of the discussion. First, a review. Assume time-constant covariates, X and a balanced panel.
