Comment
This course enhances students ‘passive literacy’ in reading statistical evidence. Policymakers, analysts and academics trained in qualitative methods are confronted with an increasing amount of quantified information. Trends in evidence-based policymaking and rigorous impact analysis force them to acquire passive knowledge about advanced statistical methods. This is difficult because there is a lot of jargon and mathematical expressions in quantitative studies. This course helps students ‘reverse engineer’ this information. We look at specific studies using tools like different forms of regression analysis, machine learning and other advanced methods and see how we can digest this information in such a way that students with little background can still understand the main idea behind the statistical models, their strengths and weaknesses. We will mainly focus on passive skills, but occasionally also do some practical exercise using statistical software to fix ideas. Students are also expected to bring quantitative studies in their own fields and discuss them in class.
