Statistics Canada and the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat invite you to participate in the third Quantitative Impact Assessment (QIA) workshop.

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.

Session 1 - Fundamentals

Date Time Description Language Agenda and Materials
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

Session 2 - Data

Date Time Description Language Agenda and Materials
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. This session explains how to access existing microdata and overcome data gaps. English with bilingual materials Session 2 - Agenda and Materials

Session 3 - Case Studies I

Date Time Description Language Agenda and Materials
March 26 9am-12pm (ET) Case Studies I focuses 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

Session 4 - Case Studies II

Date Time Description Language Agenda and Materials
March 28 9am-12pm (ET) Case Studies II also focuses 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.
