Course Description
This course will provide an in-depth study of the application of the core tools of causal inference and microeconometrics to answer questions in development microeconomics. The class will largely consist of two activities: (1) close reading and guided discussion of seminal and recent papers and (2) the analysis of real data to estimate causal relationships. While the particular applications we study will come largely from development economics, the course is intended to be useful to students in diverse areas of applied micro.
