The course then introduces causality, experiments, and the challenges of identification using observational data. Building on this foundation, the course covers core empirical strategies widely used in applied research, including instrumental variables, difference-in-differences, matching and weighting methods, synthetic control, and regression discontinuity designs. The latter part of the course focuses on assessing empirical credibility through robustness checks, falsification tests, sensitivity analysis, and external validity, as well as deepening interpretation through treatment heterogeneity and mechanism analysis.
