[Forum SIS] Recent Advances in Causal Inference for Policy Evaluation, University Roma Tre, May 2017

[Marusca De Castris]

Dear SIS Members,
the Department of Political Science, University Roma Tre  has organized an international workshop:
"Recent Advances in Causal Inference  for Policy Evaluation".

Weekly Seminars on May 2017
Schedule: May:  4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19, 30, 31

This is an advanced workshop in policy evaluation, focused on several econometric methods used to draw causal claims about the effectiveness of public policies and programs. The topics covered have special salience in the field of program evaluation.
Often depending on the identification strategy used, different empirical studies might give different or even opposite answers to the same policy question.
For this reason, it is crucial to understand pro and cons of the research designs and the econometric tools employed to generate such findings. To this end, the workshop will present recent advances in the field of casual inference such as mediation analysis, interaction among units, sample selection, and endogeneity in the presence of heterogeneous effects.

The workshop is endorsed by Italian Association of Regional Science (AISRe).

Guest Speakers:

Giovanni Mellace, University of Southern Denmark
May:  4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19, 30, 31

Laura Forastiere, University of Florence
May: 18

The venue is Department of Political Science, University Roma Tre, Via Gabriello Chiabrera, 199 Rome.

 I would be grateful if you could bring this message to the attention of your PhD students and to anyone who might be interested.
