Hey folks. I know I've been gone lately, been pretty busy with stuff.
Some of you may be interested in using more advanced synthetic control methods for your own work, but you do not want to/cannot learn enough R or Python in order to use them with confidence.
My app allows you to estimate different kinds of synthetic control models without needing to work in Python or R at all. You simply upload a long form dataset, click a few columns, select some options, and the estimates and weights are returned to you with the push of a single button. I include a tutorial page, an about page, and even a rough estimate as to how much time I'm saving you.
The lite version allows you to estimate Forward Difference-in-Differences (of course you can also use my fdid which I wrote for Stata). It also allows you to estimate the Forward SCM method, written by Giovanni Cerulli, without needing to interact with the original do file script in the supplemental material (which is 9 pages long).
That's what the free version gets you. So much more is there, and will be there, should you need it. Should anyone have feedback for it, or wish to test the full version (as it is NOT ready to be sold yet), please let me know.
