Bayesian and Frequentist Inference for Synthetic Controls
Ignacio Martinez, Jaume Vives-i-Bastida
The synthetic control method has become a widely popular tool to estimate causal effects with observational data. Despite this, inference for synthetic control methods remains chal…
Bagged Polynomial Regression and Neural Networks
Sylvia Klosin, Jaume Vives-i-Bastida
Climate and environmental applications increasingly rely on high-dimensional prediction from remote sensing and other scientific data. Neural networks (NN) can deliver strong accur…
Synthetic Controls in Action
Alberto Abadie, Jaume Vives-i-Bastida
In this article we propose a set of simple principles to guide empirical practice in synthetic control studies. The proposed principles follow from formal properties of synthetic c…
Predictor Selection for Synthetic Controls
Jaume Vives-i-Bastida
Synthetic control methods often rely on matching pre-treatment characteristics (called predictors) of the treated unit. The choice of predictors and how they are weighted plays a k…
