Most economic and social policy questions can only be answered in a fruitful manner by causal analyses, i.e. by answering “what if” questions. This course introduces the counterfactual causal model as the leading conceptual framework to understand and analyze causal questions as well as the related core methods of applied microeconometrics: multiple regression, matching, instrumental variables, differences-in-differences, and regression discontinuity designs.
