Long run impacts of childhood access to the safety net

Event25 June 2014 at 13:30<p>7 Ridgmount Street<br />London<br />WC1E 7AE</p>
A growing economics literature establishes a causal link between in utero shocks and health and human capital in adulthood. Most studies rely on extreme negative shocks such as famine and pandemics. We are the first to examine the impact of a positive and policy-driven change in economic resources available in utero and during childhood.

An introduction to impact assessment

Event6 March 2014 at 09:00<p>7 Ridgmount Street, London WC1E 7AE</p>

Participants who are involved in designing policy experiments, managing projects undertaking evaluation, or need to make decisions based on the estimated impact of policies will find this course particularly useful.

The course will cover various quantitative techniques including matching, multiple regression, instrumental variables and the regression discontinuity design. The emphasis will be on the intuition behind these techniques; there are no lab sessions, and the course will not be teaching participants how to implement techniques.

Detailed statistical knowledge is not required, although participants who are not familiar with concepts such as "statistically significant", "hypothesis testing", "linear regression", and "expected value" may find some parts challenging."
