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 Propensity Score Matching (DPSM) extends classic propensity score matching to settings where treatment is assigned repeatedly over time and earlier treatment choices influence later ones. It estimates the causal effect of entire treatment sequences or regime changes by constructing matched comparisons at each decision point using the full history of covariates and prior treatments.
