Christian Gunadi et al.

Summary: The implementation of California Proposition 56 led to an increase in cigarette prices, but did not affect the prevalence of current or daily smoking, or the use of non-cigarette tobacco products. The majority of the cigarette tax increase was passed onto consumers, and there was no evidence of changes in tobacco use behaviors.

The Augmented Synthetic Control Method

Eli Ben-Michael et al.

Summary: The synthetic control method (SCM) is a popular approach for estimating treatment effects in panel data settings, but it relies on excellent pretreatment fit. The Augmented SCM extends SCM to scenarios with imperfect pretreatment fit by using an outcome model for bias correction. Regularization helps to prevent over-fitting and the approach is demonstrated through simulation studies and real-world applications.

Economic uncertainty and suicide in the United States

Sotiris Vandoros et al.

Summary: The study found a positive association between economic uncertainty and suicide rates, with a 1% increase in uncertainty associated with an additional 11-24.4 monthly suicides in the US. Suicides during periods of economic uncertainty may have a more impulsive nature, emphasizing the importance of providing suicide prevention interventions during such times.
