英文摘要：
How would the frontier have evolved in the absence of homestead policies? I apply a matrix completion method to predict the counterfactual time-series of frontier state capacity had there been no homesteading. In placebo tests, the matrix completion method outperforms synthetic controls and other regression-based estimators in terms of minimizing prediction error. Causal estimates signify that homestead policies had significant and long-lasting negative impacts on state government expenditure and revenue. These results are similar to difference-in-difference estimates that exploit variation in the timing and intensity of homestead entries aggregated from 1.46 million individual land patent records.

中文摘要：
在没有宅地政策的情况下，边疆将如何发展？我运用矩阵补全法预测了在没有宅基地的情况下边境国家能力的反事实时间序列。在安慰剂试验中，矩阵完成法在最小化预测误差方面优于综合控制和其他基于回归的估计器。因果估计表明，宅地政策对州政府支出和收入产生了重大和长期的负面影响。这些结果与差异估计值的差异相似，差异估计值利用了146万份个人土地专利记录中宅地入园时间和强度的差异。
