DIDmultiplegt about did

[grantmcdermott]

It's been archived because of an (undeclared?) upstream dependency, i.e. the woodridge package, which DIDmultiplegt uses in some examples. See the CRAN error here: https://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/bdr/noSuggests/DIDmultiplegt.out

Honestly, this is a pretty silly reason to be archived and could easily have been avoided... But the package maintainer has been awol for a while afaict. It hasn't been updated/maintained since the initial release. You can see from the companion GitHub repo: https://github.com/shuo-zhang-ucsb/did_multiplegt/issues

(I think Clement originally hired a PhD student to write the R implementation and they have since graduated and left?)

At any rate, thanks for the heads-up. You can still install from GitHub at least (or the CRAN archive).
