Gifted kids or pushy parents?

Estimating Direct and Indirect Effects of Foreign Direct Investment on Firm Productivity in the Presence of Interactions between Firms (2014, methodology): “To account for firm-level unobserved heterogeneity, we combine CIA with difference-in-differences (cf., Girma and Görg, 2007b) by considering the change in the outcome variables between post (2006) and pre-treatment (2004) periods.”
