  <dc:title>Staggered Synthetic Control Estimation and Inference</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package stagsynth version 0.1.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>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) &lt;doi:10.48550/arXiv.1912.06320&gt;.
    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.</dc:description>
