Resumen	Machine learning-augmented propensity score matching (ML-PSM) replaces the traditional logistic regression used to estimate propensity scores with flexible machine learning algorithms — such as gradient boosted trees, random forests, or LASSO — to better capture complex, nonlinear relationships among covariates. The resulting richer propensity scores improve covariate balance and reduce bias in the estimated average treatment effect on the treated (ATT).	Coarsened Exact Matching is a preprocessing method that achieves covariate balance by temporarily coarsening continuous variables into bins, exactly matching treated and control units within those bins, and then discarding all unmatched units. Introduced by Iacus, King, and Porro (2011, 2012), it bounds imbalance on each covariate independently, yielding a matched sample on which any estimator can be applied without relying on a propensity score model.
