GOVT 6069 - Causal Inference

Spring (weeks 1-7). 2 credits. Student option grading.

Permission of instructor required.

B. Corrigan.

In this seminar we study the assumptions and estimators that can estimate causal effects in the social sciences, with particular emphasis on addressing effect heterogeneity and robustness to assumption failures. Applications include all of those studied in previous quantitative social science courses, but we will consider examples in the study of turnout, campaign effects, educational differences, and welfare policy.
