Inhalt
Learning targets:
After successfully attending the lecture and the exercise course, participants will be able to

  • postulate research questions,

  • deduct and formulate hypotheses following the principles of theory-driven empirical research,

  • explain and critically discuss advanced topics of causality and causal inference in experimental and non-experimental cross-sectional and longitudinal research designs.


Course contents:
Participants will learn to formulate research hypotheses and to distinguish between different kinds of causal hypotheses. They will reflect on how to deduct 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. Moreover, directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) will be introduced, because they offer an illustrative graphical approach to the problem of causal inference. Advanced topics of common-cause confounding, overcontrol bias, and endogenous selection bias will be discussed in the framework of DAGs. Advanced issues of validity, especially drawing causal inferences, will be addressed in experimental and non-experimental cross-sectional and longitudinal research designs. Throughout the course practical examples from empirical sociological research will be critically discussed.
