Intermediate Course in Policy Evaluation for Analysts

Overview

🕮 Off the shelf (OTS)

This two-day training course is particularly useful for those involved with CBA and impact analysis. It allows delegates to understand what effective policy evaluation is and what tools are available to them. We explore the full range of policy evaluation methods, including theory of change analysis, research synthesis, types of data needed for policy evaluation, implementation and delivery evaluation, and appropriate evaluation methods for establishing the net effect of policies such as: randomised controlled trials; propensity score matching; difference-in-differences; regression discontinuity designs and interrupted time series analyses.

Taught at introductory/intermediate level, the course will not focus exclusively on experimental and QED designs but will offer a rounded view of policy evaluation methods. Delegates will use recent case studies to test the value of these evaluation methods.
