About the course
Theoretical and practical tools to run an empirical analysis of the relationship between two or more variables. Because most empirical questions have direct policy implications, the course focuses on methods for estimating causal effects. Students work with real data in R and Stata, and by the end can test hypotheses, answer applied questions, and judge which method fits each problem.
