Overview
Off the shelf (OTS)
The Intermediate Course in Policy Evaluation for Analysts course is particularly useful for those involved with CBA and impact analysis. This two-day workshop introduces policy evaluation and the tools available to support it. Learners will 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 e.g. randomised controlled trials; propensity score matching; difference-in-differences; regression discontinuity designs and interrupted time series analyses.
Delivered at an introductory/ intermediate level, the course will not focus exclusively on experimental and QED designs but will offer a rounded view of policy evaluation methods. Learners will use recent case studies to test the value of these evaluation methods.
