Prof Sebastian Galiani (Washington University, St Louis) and Analia Olgiati from Princeton University will be presenting an econometrics course in programme evaluation from 9-12 March 2009 at the ERSA computer lab in Stellenbosch. NIDS and ERSA are able to offer funding to up to 25 participants to attend the course. We will cover the cost of economy class flights and accommodation (including breakfast). The course is free of charge. Academic staff are expected to pay for other expenses (lunch, supper, etc.). In the case of student participants, NIDS can provide a small stipend to cover these expenses if necessary.
