This error is so common. I see it with grad students, papers I referee in journals… I beg everyone to think very carefully about variation and fixed effects before running a regression. If you understand what fixed effects are doing, you shouldn’t be making this error.
How can the paper find a 44—62% increase? Looking at the author’s do-file, Joop Adema (@Jopieboy) found a specification error. This error occurs because the paper’s regression includes a treatment dummy (1 after the reform, 0 before) as well as month and year dummies. 4/11
