unbiased estimators of individual (heterogeneous) treatment effects and a consistent and asymptotically normal estimator of the … average treatment effects, based on forecasting counterfactuals using a short time series of pre-treatment data. We show that … necessary to obtain unbiased estimates of the individual treatment effects. Instead, simple basis function (e.g., polynomial …
