Muhtasari	The robust synthetic control method extends the classic synthetic control estimator by providing statistically valid uncertainty quantification and inference. Developed by Cattaneo, Feng and Titiunik (2021), it addresses a core limitation of the original approach — the lack of formal prediction intervals — making causal conclusions more defensible when only a single treated unit is observed.	Robust Difference-in-Differences is a family of modern DiD estimators designed to remain valid when treatment timing is staggered across units and treatment effects are heterogeneous over time or across groups. Classical two-way fixed-effects (TWFE) DiD can be severely biased in such settings; robust variants estimate group-time average treatment effects (ATTs) separately and then aggregate them in a theoretically sound way.
