C. Forman.

The purpose of this course is two-fold. First, to introduce students to a set of applied microeconomic approaches that will be valuable to students with a range of interests within the Dyson School. We will discuss how to establish what causal relationships exist in the data, when you can interpret these relationships as causal, and how you can convince your audience of your results (without overselling). Second, to provide a brief introduction to several active topics of research among scholars working in the areas of strategy and the economics of digitization.
