Providing effective evaluation of economic, social and medical programs has become an increasingly important requirement for both public and private institutions. The Summer School seeks therefore to provide participants with the requisite tools, both theoretical and applied, for the correct implementation of modern micro-econometric methods for implementing program evaluation using Stata. As such, the program has been developed to focus on both: i) the traditional statistical methods to program evaluation: control-function regression, matching on observables and difference-in-differences methodologies, widely employed in quantitative evidence-driven evaluation; and ii) the more advanced econometric techniques: selection models, instrumental variables, and regression discontinuity design. In addition, the school opens with an obligatory introductory one day course to the statistical package Stata. Participants will be provided with the necessary set of tools to enable them to both Stata independently and to follow and participate in the empirical sessions during the course of the week.
