Quantitative Impact Assessment (QIA) Workshop (2024)

Statistics Canada (StatCan) and the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) have organized a four-day workshop on using QIA methods for program evaluation. Participants will learn the strengths and limitations of QIA methods and how to better leverage data.


Date Time Description Language Link to Agenda and Materials

Session 1 - Fundamentals

March 19 9am-12pm (ET) Fundamentals provides a comprehensive overview of QIA concepts. Participants will learn the difference between program outcomes and program impacts, and be introduced to the common approaches to QIA (such as difference-in-differences, discontinuity estimators, and more). This session also offers a detailed overview of randomized controlled experiments – the gold standard of QIA. English with bilingual materials Session 1 - Agenda and Materials [click here]

Session 2 - Data

March 21 9am-12pm (ET) Data provides an overview of the data environments available through Statistics Canada. Participants will learn about performing custom tabulations and multivariate analysis, with specific emphasis on the availability of gender and diversity data and Quality of Life data.
