Zusammenfassung	Dynamic Entropy Balancing extends the entropy balancing reweighting approach to settings with time-varying treatments in panel or longitudinal data. It constructs unit weights at each time period such that the covariate distributions of treated and comparison units are balanced on specified moments, adjusting sequentially for prior treatment history and time-varying confounders to estimate the causal effect of treatment sequences on outcomes.	Dynamic Inverse Probability Weighting (Dynamic IPW) estimates the causal effect of a time-varying treatment sequence by reweighting observed data to mimic a hypothetical randomised trial. Developed by Robins and colleagues in the context of marginal structural models, it handles the challenge that in longitudinal settings, past treatment affects future covariates, which in turn affect future treatment — a feedback loop that standard regression cannot untangle.
