SUMMARY:Quantitative Methods for Public Policy Evaluation
DESCRIPTION:Quantitative Methods for Public Policy Evaluation; Special Course\nLecturer: Prof. Dr. Albrecht Glitz (Universitat Pompeu Fabra\, Barcelona) \nRequired Activities\nTheory and practical sessions. \nOverview and Objectives\nThe main challenge for policy evaluation is to establish a causal link between interventions and outcomes. The objective of this course is to introduce the main econometric approaches used in the evaluation of public policies: randomized evaluations\, natural experiments\, the regression discontinuity design\, selection on observables\, difference-in-differences\, and synthetic control methods. The course presents strengths and weaknesses of each approach in terms of internal and external validity. During the theory sessions\, each approach will be presented and illustrated with specific examples in the areas of labor economics\, health economics\, and the economics of education. In the practical sessions\, we will replicate the results of a prominent published study for each evaluation approach in Stata. Students are provided the corresponding data and code in advance so they can prepare. \nSchedule\nMay 24\, 2027\, May 27\, 2027 or May 25\, 2027 – May 28\, 2027 (tbd in September 2026) \nPrerequisites\nThe participants of this course should be familiar with basic concepts of statistics and econometrics that are usually covered in an undergraduate degree in economics. \nCourse Outline\nThis course provides an overview of the following quantitative methods: \n\nRandomized Controlled Trials (RCTs)\nNatural Experiments\nRegression Discontinuity Designs\nSelection on Observables (Linear Regression\, Matching)\nDifference-in-Differences\, Event Studies\, Synthetic Control Methods\n\nRegistration\nPlease register for the course until March 31\, 2027 by sending an e-mail to: yvonne.bludau@tu-dresden.de \nsubject: Quantitative Methods for Public Policy Evaluation.
