    Panel treatment effects measurement: Factor or linear projection modelling?

    We discuss methods of measuring the treatment effects of a unit through the use of other units in panel data by either the factor-based (FB) approach or the linear projection (LP) approach under different sample configurations of cross-sectional dimension N and time series dimension T. We show that the LP approach in general yields smaller mean square prediction…
