This course presents nonparametric and semiparametric regression techniques and modern microeconometric methods for treatment effects estimation. The treatment focuses on the potential outcome approach, and students learn various methods to account for selection based on observables (regression, matching, inverse probability weighting) and for selection based on unobservables (Heckman selection correction, difference-in-differences, panel regression, instrumental variable regression, regression discontinuity design). These methods are used for cross-section data and longitudinal data, both repeated cross-sections and panel data. Students will familiarize themselves with applying the methods to real empirical data using Stata.
