pysyncon 
A python module for the synthetic control method that provides implementations of:
- Synthetic Control Method (Abadie & Gardeazabal 2003)
- Robust Synthetic Control Method (Amjad, Shah & Shen 2018)
- Augmented Synthetic Control Method (Ben-Michael, Feller & Rothstein 2021)
- Penalized Synthetic Control Method (Abadie & L'Hour 2021)
The package also provides methods for performing placebo tests and generating confidence intervals.
The implementation of the synthetic control method aims to be reconcilable with the R package Synth and similarly the implementation of the Augmented synthetic control method and the R package augsynth.
Installation
Install it from PyPI using pip:
bash
python -m pip install pysyncon
