| contents | Many studies run two-way fixed effects instrumental variable (TWFEIV) regressions, leveraging variation in the timing of policy adoption across units as an instrument for treatment. This paper studies the properties of the TWFEIV estimator in staggered instrumented difference-in-differences (DID-IV) designs. We show that in settings with the staggered adoption of the instrument across units, the TWFEIV estimator can be decomposed into a weighted average of all possible two-group/two-period Wald-DID estimators. Under staggered DID-IV designs, a causal interpretation of the TWFEIV estimand hinges on the stable effects of the instrument on the treatment and the outcome over time. We illustrate the use of our decomposition theorem for the TWFEIV estimator through an empirical application. |
