How to Read Economics Research Papers: Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 лис 2020
- This video walks you through how to read economics research papers that use randomized trials (sometimes called randomized controlled trials or randomized clinical trials or RCTs).
First, we’ll learn how to read descriptive statistics and check for balance between control and treatment groups. Then we’ll move onto reading study results, including an explanation of why regression is used with randomized controlled trials.
This video builds off of Josh Angrist’s introduction to randomized trials (link below) that featured an economics research study from the Economics of Education Review. This research paper covered a randomized trial conducted at West Point that measured the impact of classroom electronics on learning.

I'm absolutely in love with this channel! Thank you SO much for giving us this course on Econometrics. No university professor can teach it the way this channel has. I'm gonna be sharing it with everyone I know who needs it like I did.
A lot of energy and fun put into these.
WOW, your content is priceless, this so informative.
Thank you!

when you will complete the course because even on the website the coming classes and videos are still not available
Hi! When do you guys will put the complete course online? It's paid? Many people are willing to pay for this. :D
Thank you for this video session - I was using the book as my textbook at uni 2 years ago, but watching the video lifted my understanding to a higher level. Look forward to the incoming videos. ❤️
You r the best master. Your content is easy to understand. The best econometrics channel i’ve ever seen. Cant wait for your next video.
I have been waiting for this video. Thanks.
Damn, this guy just won the Nobel for Econ. Amazing!
Your Videos are so great and much fun. Thank you so much!!
You are welcome!

felt a bit overwhelmed with the jargon but otherwise amazing content!
patiently waiting for the next one, keep'em coming! I'm telling all my fellow classmates about this page,
Great to see Josh Angrist winning the Nobel Prize this year
Have been waiting for this series of Economics since a year....hope now you will continuously provide such great videos.
Thank you sir Tyler and Cowen
Yes, Tyler and Coven the two different people. My second favorite after robin and hanson.
@@bruhmoment8108 Not to forget Josh and Angrist
@@BadMeditator Not to forget Mrs Esther and Mr Duflo
This is amazing. A big thank you
THIS IS AMAZING!
IT'S BACK! 😍
Super useful!
Love these
I'm doing my econometrics class and this is the only place where I fight to the bias called econometrics to get my graduation ahah
Couldn’t understand one thing, please if someone can help me.
It said if the treatment effect is more than two times of standard error then it is statistically significant, in this video the difference is not twice , it is stands at 1, then still how they are saying it is experimental intervention? Is it good to be the number less than 2 or how does it works? Still confused, any help clarification will be highly appreciated. Thank You.
cool!
Where can I find the research paper?
will the next video ever come?

1. At 10:15 when talking about adding Demographic Controls to the regression, why does it have an X instead of effect sizes and standard errors of that covariate?
Is it because Demographic controls is actually a combination of age and sex as described at 10:20? Or is it because it's effect size is not of interest so not reported? (If the researchers already took the trouble to setup and conduct the experiment, why not just reveal these effect sizes too?)
2. What does holding constant factors such as age an sex mean? Does it mean the study must have people with all the same age and same sex so these 2 attributes are a constant number, or "hold constant" actually means "including in the regression equation" but not actually requiring the rows to have constant values.
I think it's because of space in fact. Demographic variables are controls, so their effect aren't the main purpose of the paper.

Hey, where is archer?
Next video please
The table ~8:00 is not correct. 3 stars
