Statistics Canada and the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat invite you to participate in the third Quantitative Impact Assessment (QIA) workshop.
Overview
Statistics Canada (StatCan) and the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) have organized a four-day workshop on using quantitative impact assessment (QIA) methods for program evaluation. Participants should expect to learn the strengths and limitations of QIA methods and how to better leverage data.
Session 1 - Fundamentals
The CSPS Digital Accelerator is an applied learning experience designed for individuals and teams who want to adopt digital best practices and experiment with more collaborative, open, human-centred and iterative ways of defining problems and developing solutions.
Session 2 - Data
The CSPS Digital Accelerator is an applied learning experience designed for individuals and teams who want to adopt digital best practices and experiment with more collaborative, open, human-centred and iterative ways of defining problems and developing solutions.
Session 3 - Case Studies I
The CSPS Digital Accelerator is an applied learning experience designed for individuals and teams who want to adopt digital best practices and experiment with more collaborative, open, human-centred and iterative ways of defining problems and developing solutions.
Session 4 - Case Studies II
The CSPS Digital Accelerator is an applied learning experience designed for individuals and teams who want to adopt digital best practices and experiment with more collaborative, open, human-centred and iterative ways of defining problems and developing solutions.

Case Studies I will focus on three real-life examples of QIA methods being applied to evaluate program performance and impact. These case studies primarily leverage social data. The methods covered are (1) empirical density design, (2) hierarchical linear modelling, and (3) propensity score matching and difference-in-differences. | English with bilingual materials | Session 3 - Agenda and Materials |
| Case Studies II: Applying QIA methods to evaluate program performance and impact | March 28 |
9am-12pm (ET) |
Case Studies II will also focus on three real-life examples of QIA methods being applied to evaluate program performance and impact. These case studies primarily leverage business microdata. The methods covered are (1) propensity score matching and entropy balancing, (2) matching difference-in-differences, and (3) modified causal forest. | English with bilingual materials | Session 3 - Agenda and Materials |
