ECON 6591
Empirical Strategies for Policy Research II

Course information provided by the 2016-2017 Catalog.

Focuses on empirical strategies to identify the causal effects of public policies and programs. The course uses problem sets based on real-world examples and data to examine techniques for analyzing nonexperimental data including regression discontinuity methods and control function approaches. The course aids students in both learning to implement a variety of statistical tools using large data sets, and in learning to select which tools are best suited to a given research project.


When Offered Spring.
