This paper first shows the benefits of estimating synthetic controls for all units. If the treated unit composes part of the synthetic control for any untreated unit, the treatment effect is independently identified by the synthetic outcome minus the outcome of the untreated unit in the post-treatment period (divided by the synthetic control weight on the treated unit outcome). This paper introduces an estimator which generates synthetic controls for all units and develops moment conditions which are valid given transitory shocks. I also introduce a weighting metric which asymptotically excludes units without appropriate synthetic controls. The paper exploits the estimator's construction of multiple estimates of the treatment effect to produce valid inference even when the number of control units is small. The estimator is used to evaluate the repeal of Wisconsin's handgun purchase waiting period on suicide rates.</p>","PeriodicalId":48363,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Econometrics","volume":"41 3","pages":"253-264"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12843250/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146094533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our architecture features several key ingredients making MLE work in this context. First, the hemispheres share a common core at the entrance of the network, which accommodates various forms of time variation in the error variance. Second, we introduce a volatility emphasis constraint that breaks mean/variance indeterminacy in this class of overparametrized nonlinear models. Third, we conduct a blocked out-of-bag reality check to curb overfitting in both conditional moments. Fourth, the algorithm utilizes standard deep learning software and thus handles large data sets-both computationally and statistically. Ergo, our hemisphere neural network (HNN) provides proactive volatility forecasts based on leading indicators when it can, and reactive volatility based on the magnitude of previous prediction errors when it must. We evaluate point and density forecasts with an extensive out-of-sample experiment and benchmark against a suite of models ranging from classics to more modern machine learning-based offerings. In all cases, HNN fares well by consistently providing accurate mean/variance forecasts for all targets and horizons. Studying the resulting volatility paths reveals its versatility, while probabilistic forecasting evaluation metrics showcase its enviable reliability. Finally, we also demonstrate how this machinery can be merged with other structured deep learning models by revisiting Goulet Coulombe (2025)'s neural Phillips curve.</p>","PeriodicalId":48363,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Econometrics","volume":"41 3","pages":"265-279"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/jae.70042","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147685978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
