Σύνοψη	The Heterogeneous Treatment Effect Synthetic Control Method (HTE-SCM) extends the classical synthetic control framework by allowing the causal effect of an intervention to vary across time periods, subgroups, or outcome dimensions rather than collapsing it to a single average estimate. It combines the counterfactual donor-pool matching logic of Abadie et al. (2010) with modern heterogeneous-effects machinery to recover time-varying or subgroup-specific treatment paths.	Difference-in-Differences is a causal-inference method that estimates the effect of an intervention by comparing how a treatment group and a control group change over time. Made famous by Card and Krueger's 1994 minimum-wage study and developed in Angrist and Pischke's Mostly Harmless Econometrics, it isolates the treatment effect as the difference between the two groups' before-after changes.
