Trajectory Balancing

Description

Implements mean balancing and kernel balancing with time-series cross-sectional data.

Details

Provides a general reweighting approach to causal inference with time-series cross-sectional (TSCS) data. It includes two estimators, mean balancing and kernel balancing. The former reweights control units such that the averages of the pre-treatment outcomes and covariates are approximately equal between the treatment and (reweighted) control groups. The latter relaxes the linearity assumption and seeks approximate balance on a kernel-based feature expansion of the pre-treatment outcomes and covariates.

See tjbal for details.
