| Description | The aim of this course is to provide participants with a deeper understanding of econometric programme evaluation. We will use the potential outcome approach as a general principle to examine identification and estimation of treatment effects under various types of assumptions. The focus will be on matching estimators and specifically on propensity score matching.
The course will be split in six theoretical and five practical sessions. During the latter we are going to implement the discussed estimators with STATA. Hence, a basic knowledge of STATA (data handling, running do-files, etc.) is a pre-requisite for the course. The required ado-files (especially PSMATCH2) will be explained during the course.
