Objectives
Scholars who work with data must develop a sound understanding of empirical methods and the potential flaws that come with applying these methods. This is especially true for research that is based on archival data, i.e., data that are collected prior to the beginning of the research study (e.g., public company data). In this course, participants will improve their knowledge of the main econometric methods used to analyze archival data and how to apply and assess those methods. Endogeneity problems and identification strategies (e.g., diff-in-diff and natural experiments, instrumental variables estimation). Various research papers that apply the main econometric methods or use specific natural experiments will be analyzed and discussed in class. Participants will also become familiar with databases and the STATA software. A STATA manual will be provided.
