Inhalt
Learning targets: Upon successful completion of the lecture, participants will be able to
  • postulate research questions,
  • derive and formulate hypotheses according to the principles of theory-driven empirical research
  • explain and critically discuss advanced topics in causality and causal inference in experimental and nonexperimental cross-sectional and longitudinal research designs.


Course contents: Participants will learn to formulate research hypotheses and to distinguish between different types of causal hypotheses. They will reflect on how to derive hypotheses from theory according to the principles of theory-driven empirical social research. Rubin's notation of potential outcomes, which has become the backbone of modern causal analysis in the social sciences, will be introduced. Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) will also be introduced, as they provide an illustrative graphical approach to the problem of causal inference. Advanced issues of common cause confounding, overcontrol bias and endogenous selection bias will be discussed in the context of DAGs. Advanced issues of validity, in particular causal inference, will be addressed in experimental and nonexperimental cross-sectional and longitudinal research designs. The course is divided into input units and supplementary practical exercise units. Throughout the course, practical examples from empirical sociological research will be critically discussed.
