Inhalt:

This course introduces into the empirical methods that are typically applied in order to identify causal effects rather than correlation only. Identifying causal effects is of great interest and importance (e.g. in terms of policy evaluation), but also challenging. Against this background, this course deals with the methods approaching these challenges; covering:

Panel data techniques Instrumental-Variable (IV) approach Regression-Discontinuity (RD) approach Differences-In-Differences (DID) approach

A further purpose of the course is to make students familiar with the litera-ture that has applied these methods to questions in the field of education economics.
