Synthetic Control and Clustering  - April 27th and 28th

Scott Cunningham is the author of Causal Inference: the Mixtape.

Scott Cunningham, Mixtape Sessions

Workshop description:In this course, we will cover the fundamentals of synthetic control estimation and inference, with special emphasis on actionable guidance for applied research. We will discuss seven crucial guiding principles for empirical studies using synthetic controls and how these principles are applied in practice. Towards the end of the course, we will change topics to address “the” FAQ of econometrics office hours: When and how should we cluster standard errors?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 “coding together” sessions. About the instructor:Alberto Abadie is an econometrician and empirical microeconomist with broad disciplinary interests.
