  ACCTMIS 8890 - Econometric Analysis of Accounting Choice

  As econometrics suggests we combine theory and data to explore welfare implications of various accounting choices such as disclosure policy.

Ignorable treatment, instrumental variable, Bayesian network, and more generally, structural causal modeling (SCM) identification and inference strategies are explored.
