Resumen	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.	Entropy balancing is a preprocessing method for causal inference that assigns weights to control-group units so that the reweighted control sample matches the treatment group exactly on a chosen set of covariate moments (means, variances, skewness). Introduced by Hainmueller (2012), it replaces trial-and-error propensity-score trimming with a constrained maximum-entropy optimisation that achieves balance in a single step.
