สรุป	Panel Data Propensity Score Weighting (panel PSW) extends inverse probability weighting to longitudinal settings where the same units are observed across multiple time periods. It reweights observations by the inverse of each unit's time-varying probability of receiving treatment, creating a pseudo-population in which treatment is balanced on observed covariates at each period, and then estimates causal effects from repeated-measures data.	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.
