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.
