Difference in Difference With 2 Treatment Groups on Multiple Time Period

Right now, I am designing an experiment, a Randomized Controlled Trial, with two treatment groups (T1: Access to Subsidy and No access to borrowing money; T2: No Access to subsidy but access to borrowing money) and one control group (T0: no access to subsidy neither to borrowing money). So I will have three dummies as independent variables (mutually exclusive) and I will assess their impact on one outcome continuous variable (Y).

I will collect monthly data throughout 5 years! Panel Data structure!

My goal is to see which one of my treatment groups achieves higher outcome and I would like to check if that difference is statistically significant!

What test should I perform? I would like to use a dif in dif analysis but I am not sure how to "write down" an regression equation with three groups at the same time I control for fixed effects!

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help!

• You can test each Tk-post coefficient is equal to zero to see if treatment is effective. You can also test that their difference is zero to see if one is more effective than the other. These would be simple linear Wald tests in Stata that can be done using the test command and there are plenty examples of how to do such tests on this forum. Your spec seems correct for the regression part, but you need the fe option. – Dimitriy V. Masterov Oct 28 '16 at 18:34
