Abstract: This paper considers a semiparametric difference-in-differences (DID) framework for identifying and estimating treatment effects on the treated (ATT) when outcomes are missing not at random (MNAR), and a fully observed shadow variable is available. The shadow variable is assumed to be associated with the outcome evolution but independent of the missingness process, conditional on covariates and the possibly unobserved outcome evolution. We establish the identification conditions, derive the corresponding identification results and estimation algorithm, and evaluate the finite-sample performance of the proposed estimator through simulation studies and a real data application.
