Σύνοψη	Machine learning-augmented propensity score weighting (ML-PSW) replaces logistic regression with flexible ML algorithms — such as gradient boosting, LASSO, or random forests — to estimate the propensity score, then uses inverse probability weights to balance treated and control groups. This reduces model-misspecification bias when the true relationship between covariates and treatment assignment is complex or high-dimensional.	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.
