| 364-1026-00L | Identification and Causal Inference | W | 3 KP | 2V | M. Siegenthaler, D. Kopp, I. Martinez | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | Most policy relevant research questions in the social sciences face the same challenge: How can we identify a causal impact of one variable on another when we cannot use a controlled experiment? This course will teach program evaluation methods for causal analysis based on non-experimental (i.e. observational) data, derive the underlying theory and discuss recent applications. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | The main objective of this course is to make PhD students familiar with program evaluation methods such as Difference-in-Differences/Event Study estimations, Instrumental Variables Estimators, Regression Discontinuity designs and Matching Methods. The course will cover the underlying theory, illustrate the connection to classical regression analysis, show how these different methods relate to each other and how they differ in terms of the required identifying assumptions as well as data needs. Recent research papers will be discussed to illustrate their use. The course has an applied focus. The goal is to place students in the position to have a broad toolkit of quasi-experimental methods and to apply these methods in their empirical research. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Skript | We will provide printed slides at the beginning of each lecture. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Literatur | Lecture notes will be provided and course will also draw on recent research papers. No specific textbook is required. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Kurzbeschreibung | In the doctoral course, we will discuss recent advances in public economics. After a review of basic concepts in public economics, we go through recent papers on taxation, social security and fiscal federalism. Students will be asked to present a paper and to critically comment on it (as if they would referee the paper). The paper presentation will take place at the end of the semester. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | After the course participants will have a solid understanding of the current state of research in the selected fields in public economics and, starting from there, will be able to develop their own research ideas. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 364-1169-00L | Evaluating Social Impact with Field Experiments | W | 3 KP | 2G | A. Beerli | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Kurzbeschreibung | How can we evaluate whether a new policy, program, or service changes individuals’ behavior and makes a difference in their lives? How can we measure its social, economic, etc. impact? This course introduces the fundamentals of field experimental methods for social scientists. We will cover all important ingredients to design, conduct, and learn from randomized controlled field experiments. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lernziel | The main objective of the course is to empower students to run their own experiments in the field. After the course students will 1. be able to identify opportunities to run experiments, assess their feasibility, and learn which questions need to be sorted out with field partners right at the beginning 2. understand different experimental designs and their strengths and weaknesses 3. understand the ethical challenges inherent to field experiments and whether and how they can be addressed 4. know how to combine register data and surveys to measure outcomes 5. know how to prevent or handle key implementation issues, such as non-compliance, spillovers between treatment and control group, attrition or non-response | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Inhalt | This course is designed for PhD students in social sciences (such as economics, political science, psychology, etc.) or other fields working with human subjects who would like to run their own experiments in the field. A background in basic econometrics and probability theory is required, knowledge in causal inference is helpful. In contrast to working with observational data and quasi-experimental methods, running field experiments allows researchers to have larger control over the data generating process. This requires, however, to think about ways to address the most important challenges before the experiment is conducted. Knowing these key aspects of designing field experiments, measuring outcomes and collecting data, and potential implementation issues that could arise, will allow students to assess quickly whether an experiment is feasible or not and how challenges to the validity of the experiment can be addressed in collaboration with field partners. In the course we will cover all important aspects to successfully design and conduct randomized controlled experiments (or randomized controlled trials, RCTs) in the field. The first part of the course focuses on the set up of field experiments: different designs and sample size, ethics considerations, transparency and open science best practices, survey design and organizing data collection. The second part covers implementation issues: one-sided and two-sided non-compliance, attrition or non-response, and spillovers between treatment and control group. The course grade is based on a written research proposal of an original idea for a field experiment. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
