Introduction
This course will provides you with the essential
knowledge and skills to effectively appraise and analyse projects. It provides
you with the latest tools and techniques to manage project risks and
uncertainties to ensure profit margins and sustainability in uncertain times.
It will in more advanced level cover econometric impact evaluation theory and
empirical methods for measuring the impact of development programs (including
randomization, difference-in-differences, regression discontinuity, and
propensity score matching). It will combine theory and practice. The primary
objectives of the course is to provide participants with the skills
to understand the value and practice of impact evaluation within development
economics, design and implement impact evaluations and act as critical
consumers of impact evaluations.
