Айырмашылықтар қаншалықты ерекшеленеді? Питер Халлдың ірі масштабты мета-анализі
Мен 108 экономикалық құжаттың кезеңдік нұсқаларының 1346 спецификациясы негізінде екі құрамды тіркелген әсерлерді (ТВФЭ) бағалауда негативті салмақтың эмпирикалық маңыздылығын бағалау үшін АИ көмегімен репликацияны қолданамын. ЭҚКД бағалары айырмашылықтардағы қазіргі заманғы айырмашылық әдістерінің бағаларымен тығыз байланысты, бұл ретте байқалатын таңбалардың өзгерістері салыстыруларда 10,8 — 14,5 пайыз және ВВФЭ қатысты үлкен дәлдік. Шуылды ескеретін иерархиялық модельдер 91-98% ұпайлар мен а арасында корреляцияны білдіреді

I use AI-assisted replication to assess the empirical importance of negative weights in two-way fixed effects (TWFE) estimation, analyzing 1,430 staggered-adoption specifications from 116 economics papers. TWFE estimates are highly correlated with modern difference-in-differences estimates, with sign reversals in 12.0–14.9% of comparisons and greater precision for TWFE. Hierarchical models accounting for estimation noise imply estimand correlations of 91–97% and a 0.7–2.4% probability of a statistically significant TWFE estimate opposing the modern estimand’s sign. These findings suggest negative weights may be a less serious problem in practice and illustrate how AI can support systematic, large-scale empirical assessments of new econometric methods.
