而合成控制法,相对找一个相似很高的潜在对照组,我们可以对和试验组相似的几个测试单元赋予不同的权重进行线性组合,构造出一个虚拟的对照组, 而我这组权重构成的虚拟组称为一个``合成控制''(synthetic control)。 DID: diff-in-diff 合成控制法:案例 我们这里考虑合成控制法在经济学实证研究中的经典实证应用案例,...
在政策或者策略评估的场景中,如果我们只有如城市/省/州等实体的聚合数据(aggregated data), 这时候DID(difference-in-difference)方法并不能很好地做归因。在DID中,我们需要寻找一个和试验组相似,可以表征试验组反事实情况(假设试验组没有接受到干预)的对照组,但这样理想的对照组,在现实中我们很难找到。 合成控制法...
Synthetic difference in differences 结合当前最热门的合成控制法 (synthetic control method) 与 倍差法 (difference-in-differences) 之新计量方法,有兴趣者可以下载来参考一下。 We present a new perspective on the Synthetic Control (SC) method as a weighted least squares regression estimator with time fix...

The synthetic control method compared to difference in differences: discussion This presentation was a discussion in response to "The synthetic control method compared to difference-in-differences for evaluating pay-for-performance schemes in health care" presented by Noemi Kreif (LSHTM).Outline of dis...
We introduce the sdid command which imple-ments these methods in Stata, and provide a number of examples of use, discussingestimation, inference, and visualization of results.Keywords: synthetic dif f erence-in-dif f erences, synthetic control, dif f erence-in-dif f erences,estimation, ...
(aR, aC) = E[Yi2(aR)|Ai = aR] − E[Yi2(aC)|Ai = aR] To identify the effect in terms of observed quantities, we make a "parallel trends" assumption that the expected difference in potential outcomes under control is the same for units assigned treatment and uni...

量化研究主要的障碍有两个 （1）评估方法的缺陷在传统的政策评估中，倍差法(DIFFERENCE-IN-DIFFERENCE，DID)是最常用的一种方法，该方法要求处理组(试点城市)和对照组(非试点城市)在改革之前是可比的，但是由于试点城市的特殊性，传统的DID方法在这里并不适用。（2）多种政策的干扰 在房产税试点的同时，政府还采取...
在政策评估的一系列方法中,双重差分法(Difference-in-Difference Method, DID)深受国内外学者的喜爱。但是,DID在使用上仍有它的局限性:DID要求处理组和控制组在受政策冲击之前是可比的,如果地区之间存在异质性,那么政策评估的结果可能就会出现偏差。而与DID相比,合成控制法对控制组进行了加权平均,相比非随机选择的控制...
