Extensions for Synthetic Controls Analysis

Extends the functionality of the package 'Synth' as detailed in Abadie, Diamond, and Hainmueller (2011) . Includes generating and plotting placebos, post/pre-MSPE (Mean Squared Prediction Error) significance tests and plots, and calculating average treatment effects for multiple treated units.

SCtools

This package is a work in progress compiling functions to make it easier running placebo in space tests with synthetic control models and SCM with multiple treated units. It relies heavily on the ‘Synth’ package.

You can install it on CRAN with:

install.packages("SCtools")

You can install it with ‘devtools’.

library(devtools)

install_github("bcastanho/SCtools")

Or with the ‘remotes’ package

library(remotes)
install_github("bcastanho/SCtools")
