While I do not have the background that presumably most of the people on this newsletter do, I found your first post very helpful in laying out some of the intuitions for why the DiD literature has been in crisis the last ~5 years (and how the new methods have successfully addressed many of the problems). I have no idea whether RDD or IV is in a similar crisis, or if the problems they face are the same as the ones DiD faces. These papers sound quite theoretical, and as though they are about quite fundamental features of the methodologies. Is there a similar piece outlining in big picture terms why these modifications to RDD and IV are necessary / will you write one?
