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] |
