-        Experiments

-        Unconfoundedness

-        Matching

-        Difference-in-Differences

-        Instrumental Variables

-        Regression-Discontinuity Design

The lecture will be complemented by a practical computer session “Public Policy Evaluation (2)” where the estimators will be implemented using STATA.
