title: 'gsynth: Generalized Synthetic Control Method'
version: 1.4.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.gsynth
abstract: Conducts causal inference with interactive fixed-effect models. It imputes
  counterfactuals for each treated unit using control group information based on a
  linear interactive fixed effects model that incorporates unit-specific intercepts
  interacted with time-varying coefficients. This method generalizes the synthetic
  control method to the case of multiple treated units and variable treatment periods,
  and improves efficiency and interpretability. See Xu (2017) <https://doi.org/10.1017/pan.2016.2>
  for details.
