Impact evaluation
An impact evaluation course designed for Economics master’s and PhD students. A lot of programming in with an emphasis on building intuition using Montecarlo simulation. Students in the past started referring to me by the name “ cand” halfway through the course.
1h45 per week, for 14 weeks; 2 problem sets, take-home midterm, take-home final.
