Multi-period Matching Estimator/Evidence
Method evidence record

Multi-period Matching Estimator

The multi-period matching estimator extends the standard matching framework to settings with multiple time periods, pairing each treated unit to similar untreated units based on pre-treatment covariates or propensity scores, then using within-pair before-after differences to estimate the average treatment effect on the treated (ATT). Leveraging repeated observations, it simultaneously controls for observed confounders and time-invariant unobserved heterogeneity.
