Σύνοψη	Heterogeneous Treatment Effect Propensity Score Matching extends standard PSM to estimate how treatment effects vary across subgroups or individual characteristics. Rather than reporting a single average treatment effect, it uses the matched sample to estimate conditional average treatment effects (CATE), revealing which types of units benefit most or least from a treatment.	The matching estimator identifies the causal effect of a treatment by pairing each treated unit with one or more untreated units that have similar observed characteristics. Formalised by Rubin (1973) and given rigorous large-sample theory by Abadie and Imbens (2006), it constructs a credible control group from observational data without requiring a parametric model for the outcome.
