Title: Matching Methods for Causal Inference with Time-Series Cross-Section Data Abstract: Matching methods aim to improve the validity of causal inference in observational studies by reducing model dependence and offering intuitive diagnostics. While they have become a part of standard tool kit for empirical researchers across disciplines, matching methods are rarely used when analyzing time-series […]
