In this video, I walk through how to create a specification curve using Stata—a powerful tool used in applied economics to assess the robustness of your regression results across a range of plausible specifications. Inspired by recent work from Slichter, Caetano, and Mansfield, this method helps visualize how sensitive your estimates are to modeling choices like fixed effects, controls, and sample restrictions.
This tutorial shows step-by-step how to generate a curve, interpret the results, and apply it to your own empirical research. Perfect for economists, grad students, and anyone doing causal inference!
