New Bruce Hansen paper argues that DD papers should estimate standard errors using jackknife instead of clustering, which "can be highly biased towards zero"
#econsky I take a strange pleasure in there being yet another reason that prior DID papers could be wrong.
[That said, failure to reject the null n.e. null is true. Your point estimate is still your best guess of the pop parameter. But still ... DID papers can suck it! 😜]

Standard Errors for Difference‐in‐Difference Regression
This paper makes a case for the use of jackknife methods for standard error, p$$ p $$ value, and confidence interval construction for difference-in-difference (DiD) regression. We review cluster-robu....

Impressive! And this is why testing for cluster correlation in error terms can't be the right way to decide on the level of clustering. At least not in a design-based approach. Unobserved heterogeneity in the distribution of the treatment, or in the TEs, gets mistaken for "cluster correlation."

In order to add some clarity on why the answer is just "use robust SE", here's a simulations that follow Abadie et al.'s paper "When Should You Adjust Standard Errors for Clustering?"
This is pure random assignment of treatment. Cluster SE are way too big, and robust SE are close.
