Best for

  • Evaluating the causal impact of minimum wage increases on employment outcomes
  • Designing difference-in-differences studies for education policy interventions
  • Assessing healthcare program effectiveness using regression discontinuity around eligibility cutoffs
  • Building synthetic control analyses for regional economic development policies
  • Creating propensity score matching frameworks for job training program evaluation

What you'll get

  • Complete evaluation design document with methodology justification, identifying assumptions, power calculations, and robustness checks for a difference-in-differences study
  • Statistical analysis plan specifying regression specifications, sample restrictions, and sensitivity analyses for regression discontinuity design
  • Causal inference framework with explicit theory of change, confounding variables assessment, and triangulation strategy across multiple methods
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Basic descriptive statistics or correlation analysis without causal inference
  • ×Process evaluation or implementation monitoring (focuses on causal impact only)
  • ×Cost-benefit analysis or financial modeling of interventions
  • ×Real-time program monitoring or operational dashboards
Expects

Clear policy intervention details, available data structure, treatment assignment mechanism, and specific causal questions about program effectiveness.

Returns

Detailed evaluation design with methodology selection, identifying assumptions, data requirements, statistical specifications, and interpretation frameworks for causal inference.
