Replication Data for Synthetic Control Analysis of Proportions in Spain and Poland

Spain and Poland data and code for replicating a study on estimating treatment effects on proportions using synthetic controls. The package includes R scripts for a theoretical illustration, a simulation study, and two empirical examples, producing figures and tables via the `propsdid` package. Konstantin Bogatyrev authored the replication package, last updated on April 10, 2026.

Use Cases

• Replicate a simulation study on treatment effect estimation based on the described approach
• Reproduce empirical analysis figures for Spain and Poland based on the included data
• Test the `propsdid` R package functionality using the provided code and data
• Benchmark computational performance for synthetic control methods on proportions

Strengths

• Includes a master run file (`00_Run.R`) that executes all scripts in sequence and produces a log file
• Contains code for a theoretical illustration, simulation, and two empirical examples (Spain and Poland)
• Most scripts complete within minutes on an average computer, as stated in the description

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The simulation script is described as highly computationally intensive
