  1. After some nice #OpenSource collaboration, version 0.3.0 of the #rstats penalised #SyntheticControl package "pensynth" is now available on CRAN! :rstats:

    cran.r-project.org/package=pen

    Do you want to use the synthetic control method for #CausalInference with observational data? Try it out!

    (⚡ It's faster than vanilla synthetic controls even without penalty)

  6. New :rstats: package! For a project, I had to implement penalized synthetic control estimation, and I thought it would be nice to implement it "properly" so others could use it too.

    github.com/vankesteren/pensynt

    It also has a basic form of cross-validation to automatically determine the penalty parameter.

    Feel free to try out / comment / collaborate! :air_quotes_left:

  11. They basically do the same that I did. They estimate a #SyntheticControl based on binary treatment classification of areas from where tests were dispatched to #Immensa lab.

    Its funny how their and my figures a year later are so similar.

    It highlights: data access is a key barrier as they had slightly better data. But this was entirely avoidable.

    In fact, I did launch a #FreedomOfInformation #FOI request last year to request the data that the #UKHSA team was using...

    Now that FOI...

  16. @WeinbergEcon ahah that's fair. Well I also put #syntheticControl, long but unmistakable. The query is not producing much! Maybe some appropriate tags can help. @paulgp @johnholbein @marcfbellemare 🖖

  20. Alright tooter, here comes my first #EconTwitter question.

    What is your favourite recent paper applying #SyntheticControl ?

    I am currently reading Hansen & McNichols (2020) but am looking for more. Working on a synth project and want to see what's considered best practice in applied settings. Dw, I have the theory side covered!
