Counterfactual Analyses of Mechanisms of Social Inequality

Tuesday, 17 July 2018: 15:30-17:20
Location: 716B (MTCC SOUTH BUILDING)
RC28 Social Stratification (host committee)

Language: English

This session welcomes presentations of counterfactual analyses of social stratification processes in contemporary societies. We invite analyses based on randomised experiments, diff-in-diff, regression discontinuity designs and other counterfactual methods for causal inference concerning mechanisms of inequality in education and in the labor market. This session aims at bringing together a sample of substantive applications of these methods to develop a common reflection on the potential, as well as on the limitations, of counterfactual analyses of social inequality
