docs: add CBWSDID (Ustyuzhanin 2026) paper review
Add the in-repo scholarly paper review for arXiv:2604.02293v1, "Covariate-Balanced Weighted Stacked Difference-in-Differences" (Vadim Ustyuzhanin, HSE, 2026), as the Step-1 methodology fidelity artifact (PR-A) for a prospective CBWSDID estimator. CBWSDID is a design-based extension of weighted stacked DID for conditionally (rather than unconditionally) parallel untreated trends: a within-sub-experiment matching/balancing design stage produces nonnegative control design weights b_sa that compose with the Wing, Freedman & Hollingsworth (2024) corrective stacked weights into a single weighted least-squares stacked estimator. It nests weighted stacked DID at b_sa = 1 and extends to repeated 0->1 / 1->0 episodes under a finite-memory assumption. The review transcribes the absorbing-adoption core (sub-experiment construction, Q_sa corrective weights, design weights b_sa, final stacked weights W_sa, the pooled estimator, and the W_sa-weighted two-way-FE event-study regression), Assumptions 1-4, the repeated- treatment extension with Assumptions R1-R6, the Section 5 inference (unit-clustered cluster-robust conditional on the estimated design weights, plus cluster-bootstrap options and the Abadie-Imbens (2008) nonsmooth-matching caveat), the simulation and the Trounstine (2020) and Acemoglu et al. (2019) applications, and flags the saturated-FE regression delta versus the library's means-based StackedDiD as a PR-B design question. The paper has no numbered equations/theorems and no algorithm boxes, so all references are pinned to section numbers. Docs-only and self-contained: no REGISTRY.md / doc-deps.yaml / references.rst / code wiring (deferred to PR-B), matching the new-estimator paper-review precedent (#497).
