synthetic-control

Six estimators in one tutorial --- naive pre-post, DiD, two flavours of ITS, RDD on time, Synthetic Control, and CausalImpact --- all applied to California's 1988 Proposition 99 cigarette tax to see how much (and where) they disagree.

Replicating the California tobacco case study from Sakaguchi & Tagawa in R: three estimators, one ATT, and a Nevada-sized spillover.

Estimate the causal effect of Proposition 99, the California tobacco control program, on cigarette sales using the synthetic control method in Stata, with in-space placebo, in-time placebo, and leave-one-out robustness tests
