Σύνοψη	Panel data entropy balancing extends Hainmueller's (2012) entropy balancing method to longitudinal settings. It computes unit-level weights for control observations so that their covariate moments exactly match those of the treatment group across panel periods, then plugs these weights into a weighted panel regression to estimate causal treatment effects without requiring a correctly specified propensity score model.	Panel Data Inverse Probability Weighting (panel IPW) estimates the causal effect of a time-varying treatment by reweighting observed units to create a pseudo-population in which treatment is independent of measured confounders at each time point. It extends the cross-sectional IPW framework to longitudinal settings where treatment status and confounders both evolve across multiple periods.
