If you want to perform sensitivity analysis of synthetic control models, check out our latest @SpotifyResearch paper👇 It also formulates synthetic controls in @yudapearl's structural causal model framework.
#EconTwitter: Worried that the no unobserved heterogeneity assumption in #syntheticcontrols is too strong and untestable? Impressive paper addressing this issue and using Pearl’s structural causal models

The next is about non-parametric identifiability of synthetic controls in @yudapearl's structural causal model framework, which we use to provide general sensitivity analysis. It's joint work w/ @jakobzeitler & @vlontzos. Check out the details in our blog!

The first one is about estimating long-term causal effects from short-term experiments and long-term observational data when unobserved confounding is present. It's joint work with @notoriousgvg and @lucasmaystre. Check out the blog for the details!
