Causal Inference and Public Policy 2021

Ngày diễn ra: 01/03/2021

Causal Inference is a process of checking whether there is a cause-and-effect relationship between two events in a given situation. Causal Inference is widely applied in different fields, especially data analysis in social sciences, health and evaluating the effectiveness of projects and policies of organizations and businesses.

Before each project, policy is implemented, we often ask the question whether the implemented project or policy really affects the target audience or not? Is there any misconception in this impact assessment? What factors lead to this misunderstanding and how to minimize the influence of these factors? Learning about  Causal Inference  will help us answer those questions.

Application of Causal Inference in Policy and Project Evaluation:

– To know the cause and severity of the problem

– To know the effectiveness of policies and projects

– To understand the costs, barriers, and unintended impacts of policies and projects

Causal Inference and Public Policy is one of the most interesting courses I have ever attended. In terms of knowledge, the teachers turned seemingly dry topics into very intuitive discussions through examples from Vietnam and internationally. Students also learn directly with R software. In terms of classroom experience, class members are very close to each other through group activities and extracurricular activities.

Every time we launch any project, the question is always: How effective is it to the target audience? And two mistakes we often make are: Before and After and Difference in mean. But there’s a hidden culprit that we all forget: Omitted Variable Bias (OVB). Thanks to the course, I have known 5 methods of working with data to minimize OVB. I will try to apply as much of this useful knowledge as possible.
