Date: 9am to 5pm, 14 March 2013
Venue: De Morgan House, 57-58 Russell Square London WC1B 4HS. Participants who are involved in designing policy experiments, managing projects undertaking evaluation, or need to make decisions based on the estimated impact of policies will find this course particularly useful. The course will cover various quantitative techniques including matching, multiple regression, instrumental variables and the regression discontinuity design. The emphasis will be on the intuition behind these techniques; there are no lab sessions, and the course will not be teaching participants how to implement techniques. Detailed statistical knowledge is not required, although participants who are not familiar with concepts such as "statistically significant", "hypothesis testing", "linear regression", and "expected value" may find some parts challenging."
