In gsynth: Generalized Synthetic Control Method

Cumulative or Sub-group Treatment Effects

Description

Calculates cumulative or sub-group treatment effects

Usage

effect(x, cumu = TRUE, period = NULL, id = NULL, plot = FALSE)

Arguments

x	a gsynth object.
cumu	a logical flag indicating whether to calculate cumulative effects or not.
id	a string vector speicfying a sub-group of treated units that treatment effects are to be averaged on.
period	a two-element numeric vector specifying the range of term during which treatment effects are to be accumulated. If left blank, atts at all post-treatment periods will be calculated.
plot	a logical flag indicating whether to plot the cumulative effects.

Value

catt	esimated (cumulative) atts.
est.catt	uncertainty estimates for catt.
