Sažetak	Entropy balancing is a maximum-entropy reweighting method that assigns weights to control-group units so that their weighted covariate moments exactly match those of the treated group. Introduced by Hainmueller (2012), it provides exact balance on specified moments without iterative propensity-score trimming, making it a powerful preprocessing tool for causal policy evaluation in observational studies.	Inverse Probability Weighting is a causal-inference method that assigns each observation a weight equal to the inverse of its probability of receiving the treatment it actually received. Introduced by Robins, Hernán and Brumback (2000) for marginal structural models, it builds a pseudo-population in which treatment is independent of measured confounders, balancing selection bias.
