Google's paper markets BSTS's benefits over DID such that

"In contrast to classical difference-in-differences schemes, state-space models make it possible to (i) infer the temporal evolution of attributable impact, (ii) incorporate empirical priors on the parameters in a fully Bayesian treatment, and (iii) flexibly accommodate multiple sources of variation, including the time-varying influence of contemporaneous covariates, i.e., synthetic controls."

What are other pro-and-cons of the methods?

    It depends on the context: Pros and cons when considering these techniques in order to do what? Is there a particular problem you're trying to solve? – TinaW Aug 27 '18 at 12:42
