Course Description
Difference-in-Differences (DiD) methods are widely used to investigate a range of empirical questions in economics, political science, and many other social and medical sciences. These methods are also very popular in industry due to the increasing interest in empirical investigations involving causal inference. There has recently been a large increase in the number of new papers on DiD, related methodologies making it challenging to keep up with rapidly evolving best practices.
