Identification of the QTT is more complicated than the ATT though because it depends on the unknown dependence (or copula) between the change in untreated potential outcomes and the initial level of untreated potential outcomes for the treated group. To address this issue, we introduce a new Copula Stability Assumption that says that the missing dependence is constant over time. Under this assumption and when panel data is available, the missing dependence can be recovered, and the QTT is identified. We use our method to estimate the effect of increasing the minimum wage on quantiles of local labor markets' unemployment rates and find significant heterogeneity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3982\/qe935","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,21]],"date-time":"2019-11-21T14:04:39Z","timestamp":1574345079000},"page":"1579-1618","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":96,"title":["Quantile treatment effects in difference in differences models with panel data"],"prefix":"10.3982","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Brantly","family":"Callaway","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Economics, University of Mississippi"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tong","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Economics, Vanderbilt University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2359","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"quan200047-bib-0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1111\/0034-6527.00321","volume":"72","author":"Abadie","year":"2005","journal-title":"The Review of Economic Studies"},{"issue":"1","key":"quan200047-bib-0002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"91","DOI":"10.1111\/1468-0262.00270","volume":"70","author":"Abadie","year":"2002","journal-title":"Econometrica"},{"issue":"4","key":"quan200047-bib-0003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"379","DOI":"10.1198\/073500107000000269","volume":"26","author":"Abrevaya","year":"2008","journal-title":"Journal of Business & Economic Statistics"},{"key":"quan200047-bib-0004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Altonji, J. and R.
