Political institutions and public policies have real impact on people's lives. But how do we know whether a policy change or an institutional modification is good or bad before it is implemented? A small but growing group of political scientists have attacked this question by implementing randomized experimental tests. This class describes what experimental political scientists do, and how they do what they do. The main part of the class is practical, where you will walk through the intuitions and design behind actual experiments implemented in the context of the 2012 U.S. Presidential Election.
