v1.0.0 · Sep 8, 2025 · MIT + file LICENSE

Description

Implements the revised Synthetic Matching Algorithm of Kreitmeir, Lane, and Raschky (2025) <doi:10.2139/ssrn.3751162>, building on the original approach of Acemoglu, Johnson, Kermani, Kwak, and Mitton (2016) <doi:10.1016/j.jfineco.2015.10.001>, to estimate the cumulative treatment effect of an event on treated firms’ stock returns.
