This course provides logic and tools that can be utilized to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of public policies and programs. The most important logic behind the policy and program evaluation is the causal relationship, a process of evaluating whether the proposed policy or program is the real cause of the observed effects. This process requires basic knowledge of causality, evaluation design, and statistical testing. The objectives of this course are 1) to learn the basic concept of causality to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of policies and programs, 2) to learn how to apply the logic of causality for the evaluation design, 3) to learn statistical tools for the causal analysis in policy and program evaluations.
