Abstract:
In this workshop, causal inference will be introduced from first principles,
surveying approaches for a single-interval through to methods for longitudinal
data. Beginning with the philosophical developments of causality as the study
of etiology, confounding and the counterfactual framework will be explained.
The propensity score and the concept of covariate balance will then be
considered. Finally, estimators of marginal effects will be considered,
focusing first on the effect of a time-fixed treatment and then proceeding to
the more complex setting of time-varying treatments.

Sub-sections
1. Causality, confounding and the counterfactual framework
2. Marginal effects for time-fixed treatments
3. Marginal effects for time-varying treatments

Atenciosamente
Alexandra
