Machine Learning and Causal Inference. October 13th and 14th
Full Schedule: https://www.mixtapesessions.io/session/ml_oct13

Workshop description:Machine Learning&#x27;s wheelhouse is out-of-sample prediction, but these powerful methods can be deployed in service of causal inference. This two-session workshop will introduce the basics of machine learning prediction methods, including lasso and random forests and how they feature in causal inference methods like double machine learning (DML) and post-double selection lasso (PDS lasso). The course covers the conceptual and theoretical basis for the methods and also gets into the nuts and bolts of implementation in python and Stata using real-world data.About the instructor:Brigham Frandsen is an associate professor at Brigham Young University after completing his Ph.D. in Economics at MIT, where his dissertation focused on econometric methodology and labor economics. After his Ph.D., Dr. Frandsen was selected as a Robert Wood Johnson Scholar in Health Policy Research at Harvard University where he spent two years in residence furthering his research in econometrics and labor economics, as well as adding health policy to his research agenda. Dr. Frandsen&#x27;s methodological research focuses on causal inference on distributional effects. He applies these methodologies to questions about the impact of labor market institutions and interventions on education and earnings outcomes. His health policy research deals with the consequences of fragmentation in the U.S. health care system. In addition to research, Dr. Frandsen enjoys hiking and mountain biking with his wife, Christine, and their four children.International and Student Pricing: Email causalinf@mixtape.consulting for student and international pricing.
