Title:
Causal Inference and its Applications
Abstract:
Causal inference is an important and active area of research with applications in a wide range of scientific areas. Statistical and econometric methodology for inferring causality from observational data is therefore a crucially important endeavor. This workshop brings together top researchers in the fields of economics and statistics who work at the forefront of both methodological development and the application of causal inference methodology to address important problems in applied research. The goals of the workshop are to discuss recent advancements in causal inference methodology and their applications, identify new and important problems for research, highlight work from young investigators through a vibrant poster session, and to foster collaborations among researchers in the field.
