Resum	Panel Data Coarsened Exact Matching applies the Coarsened Exact Matching (CEM) algorithm to repeated-measures panel data, matching treated and control units within the same coarsened covariate strata across multiple time periods. It balances pre-treatment characteristics before estimating a causal treatment effect, combining the transparency of exact matching with the richer identification available in longitudinal datasets.	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.
