Сводка	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.	Entropy balancing is a preprocessing method for causal inference that assigns weights to control-group units so that the reweighted control sample matches the treatment group exactly on a chosen set of covariate moments (means, variances, skewness). Introduced by Hainmueller (2012), it replaces trial-and-error propensity-score trimming with a constrained maximum-entropy optimisation that achieves balance in a single step.
