Are Synthetic Control Weights Balancing Score? (2211.01575v1)
Published 3 Nov 2022 in stat.ME, cs.LG, and econ.EM
Abstract: In this short note, I outline conditions under which conditioning on Synthetic Control (SC) weights emulates a randomized control trial where the treatment status is independent of potential outcomes. Specifically, I demonstrate that if there exist SC weights such that (i) the treatment effects are exactly identified and (ii) these weights are uniformly and cumulatively bounded, then SC weights are balancing scores.
