I really appreciated this course because of the high level of instruments used. This course is of high importance if we want to master the techniques and tools of advanced impact assessment analysis. I enjoyed the simple techniques that are declined through Stata command and theories applied through combining DID and PSM methods. Thanks to the Agrodep team managers.
