Zusammenfassung	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.	Inverse Probability Weighting is a causal-inference method that assigns each observation a weight equal to the inverse of its probability of receiving the treatment it actually received. Introduced by Robins, Hernán and Brumback (2000) for marginal structural models, it builds a pseudo-population in which treatment is independent of measured confounders, balancing selection bias.
