Tóm tắt	Synthetic Difference-in-Differences (SDID) combines synthetic control and difference-in-differences approaches to estimate treatment effects when a policy or intervention affects one unit (country, firm) at a point in time. Introduced by Arkhangelsky et al. (2021), it improves upon both methods alone by using weighted combinations of controls to match treated units' pre-treatment trends and levels. This yields more precise and robust estimates than classical DiD or synthetic control.	Local Projections (LP) is a semi-parametric method for estimating impulse responses directly via multi-horizon regressions, bypassing VAR-model specification. Introduced by Jorda (2005), it projects outcomes h periods ahead onto current shocks and lags, producing impulse-response functions without assuming a particular lag structure or VAR order. This flexibility has made it the dominant approach in applied macroeconomics for measuring policy effects and shock transmission.
