Generalized Synthetic Control Method

v1.4.0 · Mar 27, 2026 · MIT + file LICENSE

Description

Conducts causal inference with interactive fixed-effect models. It imputes counterfactuals for each treated unit using control group information based on a linear interactive fixed effects model that incorporates unit-specific intercepts interacted with time-varying coefficients. This method generalizes the synthetic control method to the case of multiple treated units and variable treatment periods, and improves efficiency and interpretability. See Xu (2017) <doi:10.1017/pan.2016.2> for details.
