Causal Impact of Policy X on Contribution Rates
Using Difference-in-Differences to estimate the effect of a hypothetical policy change.
Causal Inference (e.g., Difference-in-Differences): Compares the change in outcomes over time between a group affected by a policy (treatment group) and a group that is not (control group). This helps isolate the policy's true effect.
