From reading the appendix of [Bacon,2019][1], he said > 1. “Is DD wrong?” Not in general. The DD research design—comparing outcomes for groups whose treatment status changes to groups whose > treatment status does not change—still can be a good idea. The DD > specification—estimating the coefficient a single post-treatment > dummy—**is a *bad* idea when your treatment effects vary over time (*get > bigger with time since treatment*)**. In this case, just summarize your > findings in a different way—event-study or a linear trend-break, for > instance. *The highlighted words are the one I want to focus, can I ask does it mean that if the treatment effect get weaker with time since treatment, so, DD specification is no longer a bad idea? Or,in other words, coefficient in a single post-treatment dummy is a bad idea when my treatment effects vary over time, no matter what getting bigger or weaker since treatment?* [1]: https://cdn.vanderbilt.edu/vu-my/wp-content/uploads/sites/2318/2019/10/09023516/so_youve_been_told_dd_10_9_2019.pdf
