Social, economic and political reality is characterized by complex interactions between a large number of possible factors such as institutions, policies, organizations, cultural norms, history, and geography. Moreover, we usually have access only to limited and non-randomized data, making statistical analysis difficult. But we now have a variety of empirical and statistical methods for trying to deal with such challenges, allowing us to discover institutional patterns, and drawing plausible inferences about causality. The course is focused on giving you a practical skill set, teaching you how to use these methods in full awareness of their limitations and complementaries. Writing is a key element of this course.
