الملخص	The machine learning-augmented matching estimator combines classical nearest-neighbor or propensity-score matching with ML algorithms — such as lasso, random forests, or gradient boosting — to select covariates, estimate propensity scores, and correct for residual bias. The result is a matching-based causal estimator that remains valid under high-dimensional confounding where traditional hand-specified matching fails.	Propensity score matching (PSM) is a method for reducing confounding bias in observational studies by balancing baseline characteristics between treatment groups, simulating randomization. Developed by Rosenbaum and Rubin (1983), it estimates the probability of receiving treatment given observed covariates, then matches or weights treated and control individuals with similar treatment probabilities. Widely used in medicine, epidemiology, and policy evaluation when randomized trials are infeasible or unethical, enabling estimation of treatment effects while controlling for selection bias.
