Recent years have witnessed an unprecedented availability of information on social, economic, and health-related phenomena. Researchers, practitioners, and policymakers have nowadays access to huge datasets (the so-called “Big Data”) on people, companies and institutions, web and mobile devices, satellites, etc., at increasing speed and detail.
This course will provide participants with the essential tools, both theoretical and applied, for a proper use of modern micro-econometric methods for policy evaluation and causal counterfactual modelling under both assumptions of “selection on observables” and “selection on unobservables”.
The course will cover these approaches: Regression adjustment (parametric and nonparametric), Matching (on covariates and on propensity score), Reweighting and Double-robust methods, and Difference-in-differences methods.
This course will be running online, via Zoom webinar.

Mixed models are a modern powerful data analysis tool to analyse clustered data, typically arising in studies where the levels of a factor are a random selection from a wider pool, or in the presence of a multi-level nested structure with different levels of variability.
Potential benefits of mixed models are greater generalisability of results and accommodation of missing values. In particular, mixed models have been used in clinical trials to analyse repeated measures, where measurements taken over time naturally cluster according to patient.
The course will illustrate medical and health related applications of mixed modelling, such as multi-centre trials, cross-over trials, and the analysis of repeated measures. The course focuses on the linear mixed model, assuming normally distributed data, and on how to fit it and interpret its results.
Only essential theoretical aspects of mixed models will be summarised.

Time series data are nowadays collected for several phenomena in social and empirical sciences. Initially collected at year or quarter level, time series data are now used by marketing analytics, financial technology, and other fields in which data are collected at much smaller intervals (daily, hourly and even by the minute). This course focuses on the fundamental concepts required for the analysis, modelling and forecasting of time series data and provides an introduction to the theoretical foundation of time series models alongside a practical guide to the use of time series analysis techniques implemented in Stata 15. The course is based on the textbook by S. Boffelli and G. Urga (2016), Financial Econometrics Using Stata, Stata Press Publication.
The aim of this course is to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of how a good MSc dissertation should look, and how to easily use Eviews to obtain any required econometrics.
Participants will receive a free temporary EViews license, as well as a recording of the training session, that will be live for 30 days.
The course is meant for any MSc student writing their MSc dissertation, who needs guidance on the best structure, and most suitable econometric methods to apply. No previous knowledge of EViews is required.

Stata Programming Workshop is an opportunity for graduate students, academics, researchers and professionals to expand their knowledge of Stata. This 3-day course introduces programming skills to those who have never written a program in Stata.Presented By: Dr. George Naufal (Texas A&M University)
Our web-based 'Introduction to Panel Data Analysis with Stata' course provides an overview of the most-used panel data techniques and is ideal for the beginner/intermediate-level user who wants to learn how to implement panel data estimation with Stata commands.
Choosing an appropriate sample size is a common problem and should be given due consideration in any research proposal, as an inadequate sample size invariably leads to wasted resources.
This course gives a practical introduction to sample size determination in the context of some commonly used significance tests.
Examples from a scientific background are used to highlight the problems associated with sample size determination and suggest potential solutions.
Formulae and algebraic notation are kept to a minimum.

This course is for researchers from all academic disciplines who are new to Stata. The course assumes only limited statistical knowledge and experience of using statistical software. Participants will be introduced to Stata and will be taught the statistical theory behind linear and non-linear regression methods . Practical sessions will use macro economic and finance datasets.

Econometric modelling for causal inference and program evaluation have witnessed a tremendous development in the last decade, with new approaches and methods addressing an expanding set of challenging problems, both in medical and the social sciences. This course covers some recent developments in causal inference and program evaluation using Stata.
It will provide participants with the essential tools, both theoretical and applied, for a proper use of recent micro-econometric methods for policy evaluation and causal modelling in situations where the standard treatment setting poses limitations.
More specifically, the course will focus on these approaches: (i) Difference-in-differences (DID) with time-varying and time-fixed binary treatment; (ii) the Synthetic Control Method (SCM) for program evaluation, suitable when datasets on many times and locations are available; (iii) models for multivalued and quantile treatment effect estimation.
After attending the course, the participant will be able to setting up and managing a correct evaluation design using Stata, by identifying the policy framework, the appropriate econometric method to use interpreting correctly the results. The course will provide various instructional examples on real datasets.
