Tiivistelmä	The machine learning-augmented panel event study extends the classical panel event study by replacing or augmenting parametric counterfactual models with machine learning estimators — such as LASSO, random forests, or matrix completion — to construct more accurate pre-event baselines, detect violations of parallel trends, and produce valid causal effect estimates across multiple post-event periods.	The Synthetic Control Method, introduced by Abadie, Diamond and Hainmueller in 2010, builds a weighted counterfactual for a single treated unit from a pool of untreated donor units. It is widely regarded as the gold standard for evaluating large policy interventions, natural experiments, and N=1 case studies where no obvious comparison unit exists.
