You are invited to attend the 11th annual workshop on Research Design for Causal Inference at Northwestern Law School in Chicago, IL.
Main Workshop: Monday – Friday, August 8-12, 2022
Advanced Workshop: Monday – Wednesday, August 15-17, 2022
There will be a Zoom option, but please come in person if you can. The online experience is not the same.
Main Workshop Overview: Design of true randomized experiments and contrast them to natural or quasi experiments and to pure observational studies, where part of the sample is treated in some way, the remainder is a control group, but the researcher controls neither which units are treated vs. control, nor administration of the treatment. We will assess the causal inferences one can draw from specific “causal” research designs, threats to valid causal inference, and research designs that can mitigate those threats.
Advanced Workshop Overview: In-depth discussion on quantile and nonlinear difference-in-differences, doubly robust estimation of causal effects; DiD methods that address staggered treatments (applied to different units at different times); and the application of machine learning methods to causal inference.
Main Workshop tuition is $900, Advanced Workshop tuition is $600. The workshop fee includes all materials, temporary Stata license, breakfast, lunch, snacks, and an evening reception on the first workshop day.
