Sammanfattning	Dynamic Propensity Score Matching (DPSM) extends classic propensity score matching to settings where treatment is assigned repeatedly over time and earlier treatment choices influence later ones. It estimates the causal effect of entire treatment sequences or regime changes by constructing matched comparisons at each decision point using the full history of covariates and prior treatments.	Propensity score matching (PSM) is a method for reducing confounding bias in observational studies by balancing baseline characteristics between treatment groups, simulating randomization. Developed by Rosenbaum and Rubin (1983), it estimates the probability of receiving treatment given observed covariates, then matches or weights treated and control individuals with similar treatment probabilities. Widely used in medicine, epidemiology, and policy evaluation when randomized trials are infeasible or unethical, enabling estimation of treatment effects while controlling for selection bias.
