Package: EquiTrends Type: Package Title: Equivalence Testing for Pre-Trends in Difference-in-Differences Designs Version: 1.0.0.9000 Authors@R: c( person("Ties", "Bos", email = "tc.bos@student.maastrichtuniversity.nl", role = c("aut","cre")), person("Martin", "Schumann", email = "m.schumann@maastrichtuniversity.nl", role = "ctb")) Maintainer: Ties Bos Description: Testing for parallel trends is crucial in the Difference-in-Differences framework. To this end, this package performs equivalence testing in the context of Difference-in-Differences estimation. It allows users to test if pre-treatment trends in the treated group are “equivalent” to those in the control group. Here, “equivalence” means that rejection of the null hypothesis implies that a function of the pre-treatment placebo effects (maximum absolute, average or root mean squared value) does not exceed a pre-specified threshold below which trend differences are considered negligible. The package is based on the theory developed in Dette & Schumann (2024) .
