Résumé	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 Difference-in-Differences extends the classic two-period DiD design to settings with multiple units observed across many time periods. By absorbing unit-level fixed effects and time fixed effects simultaneously, it isolates the causal effect of a treatment or policy change while controlling for both time-invariant unit heterogeneity and common time shocks affecting all units.
