Section Title:
Applied Econometrics for Micro
Section Info:
COURSE RESTRICTED TO MSPE STUDENTS ONLY. This course will cover key techniques in applied econometric research, with a focus on causal inference. Particular emphasis will be placed on questions related to policy and program evaluation. Techniques covered will include experiments, regression and matching, instrumental variables, difference-in-differences, synthetic control, regression-discontinuity, and analysis of high-dimensional data-sets. We will discuss the properties of each of these techniques and illustrate them using examples from health policy, education policy, workforce development programs, environmental and labor market regulations, and economic development programs. Students will gain experience applying the techniques to estimate the causal impacts of different policies using real-data sets. Students will finish the course by proposing their own program evaluation.
