Absract

Research is all about providing evidence for existence of a certain hypothesized scenario. However providing evidence in some  discplines  especially in social science  is not as easy as one could think. Evidence can easily be given in experimental studies involving among others the principle of randomization. Unfortunately, randomization is not always possible especially in studies involving human beings. The question therefore is how do we provide evidence of causation in social science studies? Please come and learn/discuss one among the  interesting topics  in Statistics. This time  around Statistical methods for Impact Evaluation will be taught wih a case study on ‘Impat of free education policy on secondary schools’ education performance”. Apart from Impact Evaluation, Introduction to STATA shall  be taught as a pre-requiste. In addition  R softwares will also be taught.

You are warmly welcomed !
