OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Synthetic control methods build on the popular difference-in-differences method but use systematically more appealing comparisons to address bias in policy evaluation studies. This talk provides a non-technical introduction to the approach and discusses recent methodological developments in the synthetic control literature.
