About this course

This course offers a rigorous mathematical survey of advanced topics in causal inference at the Master’s level.

Inferences about causation are of great importance in science, medicine, policy, and business. This course provides an introduction to the statistical literature on causal inference that has emerged in the last 35-40 years and that has revolutionized the way in which statisticians and applied researchers in many disciplines use data to make inferences about causal relationships. We will study advanced topics in causal inference, including mediation, principal stratification, longitudinal causal inference, regression discontinuity, interference, and fixed effects models.

Excellent treatment of mediation, regression discontinuity, longitudinal causal inference, interference and fixed effects. This course has whetted my appetite to dig in to the relevant statistics literature in more detail. The potential outcomes framework is so powerful in terms of delineating causal assumptions and clearly setting up identification conditions for empirical estimation of causal effects.

This course is painful. Lots of dry maths with no relatable examples. Difficult to follow.
