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.

Regression adjustment,
Matching,
Selection-models and difference-in-differences methodologies, etc.

At the end of the school, participants are expected to be able to master complex evaluation design by:

Identifying a causal inference issue,
Defining the type of data required in their specific policy framework,
Evaluating which specific econometric method is more appropriate for the analysis,
Applying the method and presenting the results,
And finally, extracting policy recommendations from the obtained results.
