Pointwise and Cumulative interpretations

@OscarEngelbrektson Thanks for developing this great package.

Qualitatively, What is the causal interpretation for the pointwise and cumulative counterfactual prediction plots given in the Germany example ? Kindly elaborate

For instance, Is it correct to interpret as follows:

  1. Plot-1 : If the German reunification had not happened in 1990, Germany's GDP would have increased from the observed GDPs .
  2. Plot-2: As an effect of the 1990 reunification (cause), the observed GDP had decreased by the estimated/ indicated points
  3. Plot-3: As an effect of the 1990 reunification (cause), the observed GDP had cululatively seen a drop by estimated/ indicated points ?
