3. The difference-in-differences estimator I Suppose a new policy was implemented in the state of Ohio in 2007 that greatly reduced the cost of filing for a divorce, both in terms of monetary fees and paperwork. In the neighboring state of Pennsylvania, suppose the cost of filing for divorce has not changed from before 2007 to after 2007. You have collected two cross sections of divorce data from the years 2005 and 2009, for a random set of counties in both states. Suppose you propose the following regression model, with no additional factors controlled for, to study how the new policy has influenced the number of divorces in the treatment group (the state of Ohio) versus the control group (the state of Pennsylvania):
