Workshop description:Shift-Share Instrumental Variables (SSIV) are used to address endogeneity and selection challenges in many economic settings. This workshop will last two evenings and will introduce the basics of SSIV and cover the recent literature on its econometric foundations. Special focus will be paid on the different assumptions underlying the “exogenous shares” and “exogenous shocks” approaches to SSIV identification, and their practical implications. We will also cover a more general class of instrumental variable strategies combining exogenous shocks and non-random exposure. Group programming exercises will be used to illustrate various theoretical concepts in real-world applications.This is one of our advanced courses. These courses are designed assuming a solid foundation in the basics of instrumental variables and will cover the frontiers of the topic. A good review is the intro course: <a href="https://github.com/Mixtape-Sessions/Instrumental-Variables" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/Mixtape-Sessions/Instrumental-Variables</a> .Daily Structure:This is a 2-day workshop. The goal of the workshop is for students to gain enough knowledge from the lectures and experience from the programming activities that they become confident and capable enough to implement and interpret these methods in their own work, as well as continue to learn this new material on their own after the workshop concludes. Each day lasts 3 hours with lectures and &quot;coding together” sessions. After the first day, a coding lab will be assigned to be completed between days and then reviewed at the start of the second day.About the instructor:Peter Hull is the Groos Family Assistant Professor of Economics at Brown Univeristy and a Faculty Research Fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research. He has published papers on topics in applied econometrics, education, healthcare, and criminal justice, in outlets such as the American Economic Review, the Quarterly Journal of Economics, the Review of Economic Studies, and the New England Journal of Medicine. His research is focused on developing and applying new instrumental variable methods to measure the quality of institutions, such as schools or hospitals, as well as discrimination and bias in human and algorithmic decision-making. Prior to Brown, Professor Hull taught at the Kenneth C. Griffin Department of Economics at the University of Chicago and worked at Microsoft Research and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. He earned his PhD in economics from MIT in 2017, under 2021 Nobel Laureate Josh Angrist.International and Student Pricing: Email causalinf@mixtape.consulting for student and international pricing.
