Causal Inference
In this course, you will learn how to uncover cause-and-effect relationships in observational data—an essential skill for driving business decisions, policy evaluations, and scientific insights. You’ll explore a powerful suite of causal inference methods designed for time-series and panel data, including Interrupted Time Series, Difference-in-Differences, Event Study, Synthetic Control, and Regression Discontinuity models. Each lesson features hands-on Python exercises to build your technical fluency, and you’ll apply what you’ve learned in a final project that demonstrates your ability to estimate and validate causal effects. By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped to translate complex observational data into actionable insights that support evidence-based decision-making.
