Applied econometrics

Quantitative Analysis and Empirical Methods II, Harvard Kennedy School

Teaching Fellow, Spring 2023

I was a teaching fellow for a Master of Public Policy course on regression analysis taught by Professors Benjamin Schneer and Teddy Svoronos at the Harvard Kennedy School. This five-week course covered regression analysis relevant to policy evaluation, including multivariate regression, non-linear methods, and experiments. Assignments required students to implement basic regression analysis in R using Jupyter notebooks.

I prepared my own discussion section materials under the guidance of Professor Teddy Svoronos, linked below.

• Session 1: Bivariate regression
• Jupyter notebook with answers
• Session 2: Omitted variable bias
• Jupyter notebook with answers
• Worksheet: interpreting prose from an academic article
• Session 3: Linear Probability Model and Interactions
• Jupyter notebook with answers
• Session 4: Non-linear models and Experiments
• Jupyter notebook with answers
• Slides: experiments

Advance Topics in Impact Evaluation, University of Virginia

Teaching Assistant, Fall 2018

I was a teaching assistant for a Master of Public Policy course on impact evaluation taught by Professor Sally Hudson at the University of Virginia's Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy. The course covered econometric approaches to policy analysis, including experiments, instrumental variables, regression discontinuity, and panel data methods. Assignments required students to replicate analyses from policy-relevant economics journal articles.

Causal Inference and Econometrics Groups

Organizer, Summer 2020 & 2021

During the summer of 2021, Stephanie Kestelman and I organized a causal inference "bootcamp" for Harvard PhD students. For our meetings, graduate students review causal inference strategies, present state-of-the-art applied papers, and write code in R or Stata to implement the designs.

During the summer of 2020, I organized an econometrics reading group for Harvard PhD students with the guidance of Professors Isaiah Andrews and Elie Tamer. Other graduate students helped select and present papers. See this link for applied and theory schedules.
