The Synth_Runner Package: Utilities to Automate Synthetic Control Estimation Using Synth
Open accessAbstract
The synthetic control methodology (Abadie and Gardeazabal, 2003, American Economic Review 93: 113–132; Abadie, Diamond, and Hainmueller, 2010, Journal of the American Statistical Association 105: 493–505) allows for a data-driven approach to small-sample comparative studies. synth_runner automates the process of running multiple synthetic control estimations using synth. It conducts placebo estimates in space (estimations for the same treatment period but on all the control units). Inference ( p-values) is provided by comparing the estimated main effect with the distribution of placebo effects. It also allows several units to receive treatment, possibly at different time periods. It allows automatic generation of the outcome predictors and diagnostics by splitting the pretreatment into training and validation portions. Additionally, it provides diagnostics to assess fit and generates visualizations of results.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
