This course introduces students to the most important approaches of program evaluation. These approaches have been widely used in the economics literature in diverse fields (development, labor, public economics, economics of education and health) and can be applied to a wide range of questions such as evaluating the effects of anti-poverty programs (e.g. conditional cash transfer programs), educational and job training programs, preventative health care and family planning programs, of changes in laws such as minimum wage laws and minimum drinking age and so forth.
The
course consists of two parts – a lecture and a seminar. The lecture
part consists of eight three-hour sessions, plus a seminar in block
format which scheduled to take place on a Friday/Saturday at the end of
the summer term.
