Comments
This seminar is a collection of public policy case studies from Latin America. These case studies will expose students to key theoretical and empirical aspects of public policy design, implementation, and evaluation. A wide variety of policies and sectors are covered: poverty, inequality, labor markets, education, health, (in)security, gender, environment, among others. Students will gain hands-on practice on quantitative and qualitative methods of policy analysis, and on how to communicate findings to policy-makers. close
