Τι είναι τα JERS
Τα Joint Economic Research Seminar Series (JERS) είναι ένας διαδικτυακός τόπος συνάντησης μελών ΔΕΠ και ερευνητών συνεργαζόμενων Τμήματων Οικονομικής Επιστήμης από οκτώ ελληνικά ΑΕΙ:
- Πανεπιστήμιο Πειραιώς (host)
- Πανεπιστήμιο Ιωαννίνων
- Πανεπιστήμιο Μακεδονίας
- Οικονομικό Πανεπιστήμιο Αθηνών
- Πανεπιστήμιο Κρήτης
- Εθνικό & Καποδιστριακό Πανεπιστήμιο Αθηνών
- Αριστοτέλειο Πανεπιστήμιο Θεσσαλονίκης
- Πανεπιστήμιο Πατρών
Στόχος
Η δημιουργία μιας διαδραστικής ερευνητικής κοινότητας από την πλειοψηφία των Οικονομικών Τμημάτων της χώρας με απώτερο σκοπό τη διάχυση της γνώσης, την ενίσχυση των διατμηματικών συνεργασιών και εξωστρέφειας των ελληνικών Οικονομικών Τμημάτων αξιοποιώντας τις νέες τεχνολογίες (platforms) επικοινωνίας.

Workshops 2024-2025
Workshops on “Causal Inference”
Why do we care? A large proportion of real-life questions of interest are questions of causality, not just correlation. Causal inference encompasses the tools that allow social scientists to determine what causes what.
What we will do? Hands-on using real data and Stata software sequence of four seminars introduce researchers to necessary methods to arrive at meaningful answers to the questions of causation, using a range of advanced modeling techniques and coding instructions in Stata. All material (files and codes) will be provided one week in advanced.
Keywords: endogeneity, causal effects, identification, fixed-effects, instrumental variable (IV) analysis, potential-outcome, policy evaluation, counterfactuals, Difference-in-Difference (DiD) analysis, treatment and control group.
PART A
Manthos Delis
Professor, Audencia Business School
Seminar 1:
-> January 25, 2025
Why do we need causal inference and what are the key endogeneity problems faced by empirical research in economics and finance. The use of fixed effects and Instrumental variables regressions.
Seminar 2:
-> February 22, 2025
Difference-in-differences (DiD) as a natural experiment in social sciences and the discontinuity design regression.
PART B
Alexandros Bechlioulis
Assistant Professor, University of Ioannina
Seminar 3:
-> March 1, 2025
How do we estimate the impact of a policy intervention? What is a treatment and a control group? Canonical and modern difference-in-difference (DiD) methodologies for a two-period analysis.
Seminar 4:
-> April 5, 2025
Multi-period frameworks: Assume now more than two time periods in which units may be treated at the same time or different points in time. Heterogeneous robust estimators for staggered treatment timing.
