NIPE is pleased to announce its upcoming research training course Data Visualisation for Econometric Policy Evaluation, taught by Andrew M Jones (U. York).
The course runs from 20 to 22 September in room -1.26. There will be two two-hour sessions each day, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon: 10:00 to 12:00 AM and 2:00 to 4:00 PM.
This workshop focuses on the principles and practical application of data visualisation and how statistical graphics can enhance applied econometric analysis and policy evaluation.
Applications include econometric methods for prediction and forecasting, risk adjustment, resource allocation, technology assessment, and policy evaluation. Methods for policy evaluation include: regression methods, doubly robust and machine learning approaches; instrumental variables and methods for panel data, including differences-in-differences, synthetic controls and extensions.
Practical examples will show how these methods can be applied, and the course outlines a grammar of graphics in Stata.
