PPAD 000/5165 - Program Evaluation (3 cr.)
Description
Public resources are limited, and decisions regarding how to use these scarce public resources must be informed by an understanding of how well public programs and policies produce their desired outcomes. However, measuring causal effects can be a challenge. This course is designed to provide a broad-yet rigorous-overview of the tools available to evaluate the causal effects of public programs and policies. These tools and methods include randomized control experiments and quasi-experiments, such as difference-in-difference, regression discontinuity, and instrumental variables.
