Sammendrag	Heterogeneous Treatment Effect Entropy Balancing combines entropy balancing — a preprocessing step that reweights control units to match the treatment group on covariate moments — with methods that estimate how the treatment effect varies across subgroups or individuals. It produces covariate-balanced weights without parametric propensity models, then uses those weights to estimate conditional average treatment effects (CATEs) across moderating variables.	Propensity score weighting is a causal-inference method that reweights observations so that the covariate distributions of treated and untreated units look exchangeable, enabling unbiased estimation of average treatment effects from observational data. Each unit receives a weight that is the inverse of its probability of receiving the treatment it actually received — a strategy formalised by Rosenbaum and Rubin (1983) and given its efficient semiparametric form by Hirano, Imbens and Ridder (2003).
