creditsAverage Course Rating
The purpose of the course is to show how experimental, quasi-experimental, and non- experimental methods can be used to advance knowledge about topics in economics and answer important policy and business questions. It will teach students the empirical techniques required to analyze data to determine causal relationships. The course will begin with a focus on the use of experimental methods in economics. Students will then proceed to learn and apply alternative empirical methods that can be employed to establish cause and effect when data are not obtained from a fully randomized setting. The tools and topics that are covered will be relevant to students interested in economics or other social sciences.
