title: 'stagsynth: Staggered Synthetic Control Estimation and Inference'
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.stagsynth
abstract: Implements the Staggered Synthetic Control (SSC) method for estimating treatment
  effects in panel data with staggered adoption, as proposed by Cao, Lu, and Wu (2020)
  <https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.1912.06320>. Constructs synthetic control weights
  via constrained quadratic programming, estimates heterogeneous treatment effects
  and event-time average treatment effects on the treated (ATT), and provides placebo-in-time
  confidence intervals and p-values.
