  <dc:title>Fast and Unified Synthetic Control Methods</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package coresynth version 0.2.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>A unified 'Formula' interface to the Synthetic Control Method
    (SCM) and related panel-data causal inference estimators: Synthetic
    Difference-in-Differences (SDID), Generalized Synthetic Control (GSC),
    Matrix Completion (MC), Time-Aware Synthetic Control (TASC), and Synthetic
    Interventions (SI), together with an experimental-design variant.
    Computational bottlenecks (quadratic programming, singular value
    decomposition, and Kalman filtering) are implemented in 'C++' via
    'RcppArmadillo'. Methods are described in Abadie, Diamond and Hainmueller
