Goal of the workshop

The primary goal of the workshop is that participants leave with a concise, and step-by-step explanation or framework that describes how their business questions could be answered with an experiment.

Structure of the workshop

The workshop on Data, Experiments, and Decisions is

  • interactive,
  • discussion-heavy,
  • practical.

Lecturers will give brief and focused presentations. We will spend most of the time discussing how participants can solve their problems with experiments.

Sample program

Day 1: Field experiments (Friday)

  • Why experiment?
  • Practical examples: digital platforms, ad planning, marketing, targeting, ...
  • A/B tests, and other experimental designs
  • The experimental workflow

Day 2: What if experiments are not possible? (Saturday)

  • Finding experiments in Big Datasets
  • Quasi experimental designs

Participants will leave with concise, individual, and step-by-step plans for running an experiment that would solve their problem. Participants should be open to discuss policies and strategies that they can implement and test.
