Stata Spring School 2023 – BELGIUM

MASTER THE THEORETICAL AND APPLIED TOOLS FOR THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF MODERN POLICY EVALUATION METHODS

Program evaluation methods are widely applied in economics to assess the effects of policy interventions and other treatments of interest (in health, labor, education, finance, marketing, etc.). Providing effective evaluation of economic, social and health program has become a considerably important requirement for public and private institutions.

This school seeks to provide participants with the necessary tools, both theoretical and applied, for the correct implementation of modern econometric methods for the conduct of program evaluation using Stata.
