If the differences in the change in means between treatment and control group post treatment as the estimate of the treatment will affects the treatment and control groups. There are no other differences apart from the treatment, a very strong assumption with non-experimental data. A weaker assumption is that any differences in the change in means between treatment and control groups are the result of the treatment the difference in differences estimator which will change the outcome of the treatment group. c. The two month results may be far high then the two day treatment. d. No, because on inaccurate number of outliers for the variable. e.
