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 propensity score matching combines the bias-reduction of PSM with the longitudinal structure of panel data, enabling causal estimation of treatment effects by matching treated and control units on observable pre-treatment characteristics and then differencing within matched pairs over time. Developed in the framework of Heckman, Ichimura, and Todd (1998), it is especially valuable when randomisation is infeasible and both selection on observables and time-varying confounding must be addressed simultaneously.
