Hello! This repository is a collection of notes and coding exercises for my ECON 485 - Advanced Topics in Economics (Causal Inference) class, taken during Fall 2023 at Emory University. It is intended to serve as a resource for understanding key econometric concepts, methods, and includes coding exercises to reinforce these topics.
Each folder covers a different methodology commonly used in empirical economic work. They include a PDF file that contains notes and explanations of topics covered in class, as well as some coding/simulation exercises that will help the reader understand how these techniques are used.
