COURSE OVERVIEW
This comprehensive course delves into the principles of research design and explores all main quantitative evaluation methods: randomised experiments, instrumental variables, sharp and fuzzy regression discontinuity designs, regression methods, matching methods and longitudinal approaches such as before-after, difference-in-differences and synthetic controls.
The lectures are thoughtfully structured to accommodate participants with diverse backgrounds. Each topic is presented at various levels, ensuring accessibility through intuitive explanations, optional formal derivations, in-depth discussions, and practical examples. The live classes offer a summary of each topic and provide an interactive platform for participants to ask questions and actively engage in guided practical sessions where they will apply each evaluation method to real-world data.
By the end of this course, participants will have acquired a solid foundation in research design principles and possess practical skills to implement quantitative evaluation methods effectively.

Part 2) Live Sessions (19.5 hours): The live classes are spread over three days and consists of the following:
