This course will discuss assumptions and methods for the estiamtion of causal effects using the Potential Outcome approach (also known as Rubin Causal Model). Both theoretical and applied perspectives on the covered topics will be offered to participants. Examples will be drawn from economics, political science, sociology, public health and policy evaluation. A lab session will be organized during the second day of the course to demonstrate the implementation of some of the covered techniques in Stata.

This course is complemented by the seminar "Causal inference for policy evaluation: case studies and statistical complications", where applications of real policy evaluation studies will be presented and some complications (spill-over effects, continuous treatments) will be discussed. The seminar will take place on March 30, 2012 at Universitat Pompeu Fabra.
