Résumé
We introduce the inclusive synthetic control method (iSCM), a modification of synthetic control type methods that allows the inclusion of units potentially affected directly or indirectly by an intervention in the donor pool. This method is well suited for applications with either multiple treated units or in which some of the units in the donor pool might be affected by spillover effects. Our iSCM is very easy to implement using most synthetic control type estimators. As an illustrative empirical example, we re-estimate the causal effect of German reunification on GDP per capita allowing for spillover effects from West Germany to Austria.
