PhD courses in Social Sciences offered at the University of Stavanger:
Course description PHD416 The course is offered through a Research School in Economics and Business Administration (ECOBA), UiS Business School Course dates: between September 16th and October 14th, 2021 Unfortunately, we have to change the format of the course as Norway’s travel restrictions make it impossible for professor Bettinger to come to Norway and teach in person. We have therefore decided to move the course to an online format: The course will be conducted digitally this year and will consist of a mixture of zoom meetings, PC-lab exercises, and online seminars. Zoom meetings take place from 13:30 - 17:30 on Thursdays between September 16th and October 14th. During Zoom meetings students will engage in the learning objectives and discuss examples of sophisticated RCTs. The Zoom meetings are accompanied by lab sessions and seminars in which students will work with software to measure statistical power and are provided practical examples of RCTs. Course coordinators: Assistant Professor Simone Valerie Häckl-Schermer and Professor Eric Perry Bettinger
