In this seminar we will first discuss features of research designs of quantitative sociological studies. We then address questions regarding causality and estimation of effects.
The goal of this seminar is that students will be able to design studies in sociology and are able to identify key issues when addressing causality. Moreover, students will learn practical skills to construct studies and analyse data with Stata and R.

Participants should be interested in
- Research designs
- Questions surrounding causality
- Programming with Stata or R (prior knowledge in at least one software package is useful)
