      Comments

      Content & Aim of the Course
      The aim of this course is to introduce students to modern microeconometric methods for policy
      evaluation aimed at estimating causal effects (treatment effects) in the area of labor economics. In the
      lecture part, we will cover empirical methods as well as basic labor economic theories. We will cover
      microeconometric methods of policy evaluation such as Instrumental Variables, Regression
      Discontinuity, Difference-in-Differences and Panel Data/Fixed Effects. We will discuss these methods
      in the context of current research questions related to differences in labour market behavior and
      outcomes between men and women in industrialized economies and developing countries. In the
      seminar part, students will be given the opportunity to apply their knowledge while their own research
      projects. This includes critical reading and discussion of research papers applying these modern
      empirical methods to micro data. Moreover, students will learn how to apply the methods in hands-
      on empirical exercises with real-world micro data, using the statistical software package STATA (FU
      students can download the free campus license via ZEDAT to their personal computers or use the
      computer lab). At the end of the course, students should have acquainted the skills to (i) critically read,
      present, and discuss empirical journal articles in the field of labor economics, (ii) learn how to work
      with micro data, conduct first own analyses and (iii) write own research papers based on own empirical
      analyses.
      Examples of research questions and topics
      ? How large is the gender pay gap and what are potential explanations of the gender pay gap?
      ? Why are there differences in earnings and occupations between women and men?
      ? How do economic or family policies affect male and female labour supply and gender
      inequality?
      ? How do economists measure and test for discrimination in the labor market? Are quotas an
      effective policy tool?
      ? How do empirical economists assess the role of gender norms for labor market outcomes?
      Methods Covered
      ? OLS and Causality, Omitted Variable Bias, Counterfactual, Potential Outcomes Framework
      ? Randomized Control Trials
      ? Instrumental Variables Approach
      ? Regression Discontinuity Design
      ? Panel Data Methods
      ? Difference-in-Difference Approach
