New 'disco' command enables distributional synthetic controls in econometrics

Researchers have introduced a new command called "disco" that implements the Distributional Synthetic Controls method. This method allows for the construction of entire synthetic distributions for a treated unit by averaging the distributions of control units. The package offers various aggregation schemes, including quantile-based and cumulative distribution function-based approaches, along with inference procedures and visualization tools. The functionality is demonstrated by replicating results from a previous study. AI
