Details

MSCMT implements three generalizations of the synthetic control method (which has already an implementation in package 'Synth'):

1. it allows for using multiple outcome variables,

2. time series can be supplied as economic predictors,

3. a well-defined cross-validation approach can be used.

Much effort has been taken to make the implementation as stable as possible (including edge cases) without losing computational efficiency.
