POL S 103 - Causal Inference in Political Science
This course is about what quantitative political scientists do when they can’t do experiments. You will learn more about when and how political scientists make causal statements about observational data. We will start by reviewing the promise and pitfalls of experiments as a tool for political scientists. Then, we will think about a series of other approaches that political scientists use to tease apart cause and effect in their work.
