panelize.data

get data in correct format for using panel methods in qte package

Provides several methods for computing the Quantile Treatment Effect (QTE) and Quantile Treatment Effect on the Treated (QTT). The main cases covered are (i) Treatment is randomly assigned, (ii) Treatment is as good as randomly assigned after conditioning on some covariates (also called conditional independence or selection on observables) using the methods developed in Firpo (2007) <doi:10.1111/j.1468-0262.2007.00738.x>, (iii) Identification is based on a Difference in Differences assumption (several varieties are available in the package e.g. Athey and Imbens (2006) <doi:10.1111/j.1468-0262.2006.00668.x> Callaway and Li (2019) <doi:10.3982/QE935>, Callaway, Li, and Oka (2018) <doi:10.1016/j.jeconom.2018.06.008>).

<dd>A data.frame containing all the variables used</dd>
<dt>idname</dt>
<dd>The individual (cross-sectional unit) id name</dd>
<dt>tname</dt>
<dd>The name of the column containing the time periods</dd>
<dt>t</dt>
<dd>The 3rd time period in the sample. Treated individuals should
be treated in this time period and untreated individuals should not be
treated. The code attempts to enforce this condition, but it is good
try to handle this outside the panel.qtet method.</dd>
<dt>tmin1</dt>
<dd>The 2nd time period in the sample. This should be a
pre-treatment period for all individuals in the sample.</dd>
