    Estimating Dose-Response Functions in Stata with Giovanni Cerulli, Research Institute on Sustainable Economic Growth, National Research Council of Italy (CNR) https://dresa.org.au/events/estimating-dose-response-functions-in-stata-with-giovanni-cerulli-research-institute-on-sustainable-economic-growth-national-research-council-of-italy-cnr-bc5f7852-fcd6-41b2-a59d-ec12a1bfe259 This seminar equips researchers with the knowledge and skills to identify and estimate dose-response functions using Stata, offering an in-depth exploration of two prominent approaches for estimating dose-response functions: the Generalized Propensity Score (GPS) method and the Regression-adjustment-based Dose-Response Models (CTREAT). These methods are widely used in the field of causal inference with continuous treatment (or exposure) and have applications in various domains such as medicine, social sciences, and economics. The seminar includes practical exercises, a Q&A session, and post-seminar support, offering participants a deep understanding of dose-response functions and their application in various research fields. An official Instats certificate of completion is provided along with 1 ECTS equivalent points. 2025-02-11 22:00:00 UTC 2025-02-12 04:00:00 UTC Giovanni Cerulli, Research Institute on Sustainable Economic Growth, National Research Council of Italy (CNR) Instats info@instats.org [] [] [] open_to_all []
