Applied Econometrics for Micro
Section Info:
Applied Econometrics for Micro: This course will cover modern econometric techniques for estimating causal effects including experiments, regression and matching, instrumental variables, difference-in-differences, synthetic control, and regression-discontinuity designs. 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 study policies in real-data sets using the statistical programming language R. Students will finish the course by proposing their own study and implementing their proposal on simulated data. Emphasis will be placed on following good coding and data practices.
