Step by step Python code for applying synthetic control to interesting use cases

This repo will contain many examples for using the synthetic control method in diverse domains. Meanwhile, these are the implemented examples:

1. Estimating the Effect of California’s Tobacco Control Program (Abadie et al. 2010)
