We show that the ATT can be estimated by a simple TWFE method that extends the approach of Wooldridge [2022]'s fully interacted regression model. We broaden our framework to the non-linear case of count data, offering estimation of the ATT by a simple TWFE Poisson model, and we revisit a corresponding application from the crime literature. Monte Carlo simulations show that our estimator performs competitively. KW - Difference-in-Differences KW - staggered treatment adoption KW - spillovers KW - (non-)linear models ER -
