Title |
Causal Analysis |
Description |
In this course, we study econometric methods for identifying and estimating causal effects. We first present the potential outcomes approach as a general framework to examine such effects. We discuss randomized experiments as the predominant way for establishing causality, and then move on to observational studies and explore various types of assumptions that allow for credible causal inference. Examples from the literature and step-by-step tutorials offer hands-on experiences in utilizing the methods. Course language is English.
