Doctoral Seminar in Research Approaches and Methods

The objectives of this course are to provide PhD students with tools to rigorously analyze data and to craft research output (papers and presentations) from the resulting estimates; and to provide constructive feedback on others' work. The course covers current topics in modern applied econometrics such as difference in difference, regression discontinuity, randomized controlled trials, shift-share designs, inference, missing data, and others. This course is the second part of a two-course sequence in the Neubauer Family Program in Economics and Public Policy PhD program.
