Converting tau when data is log transform about pysynthdid HOT 1 OPEN

Hi! Thank you for your comment.

However, I couldn't transform back ATT from its value estimated from log input data to one unscaled.

As a simple example, consider a linear model. Think about the meaning of the following x1 coefficient when the outcome variable Y is log-transformed.

As you can see from this

β1 means "Y increases by β1( = log Y'- log Y) when x1 increases by 1".

Since log(1 + y) can be approximated as y, the following transformation is possible:
log Y'- log Y = log(Y'/Y)
　　　　　　= log(1 + (Y' - Y)/Y )
　　　　　　 ~ (Y' - Y) / Y

In other words, we can think of it as "Y increases by β% as x1 increases by 1.
This is the same in this model, which can be interpreted as an ATT of {tau}%!

I apologize if I misread the intent of your question.
