Summary

1 / 2

Recent recorded grades — Spring 2025: 3.33 GPA, 83.3% A/AB (n=6 letter grades); Spring 2026: 3.82 GPA, 100.0% A/AB (n=14 letter grades).

What you’ll be able to do

  • Recognize and describe common methodological approaches used for causal inference in empirical consumer research.

  • Identify the underlying identification assumptions behind common methodological approaches and describe the key considerations for assessing the validity of these assumptions.

  • Critically evaluate and discuss the methodological approaches in recent empirical consumer research, including being able to identify potential limitations to being able to draw causal inferences from the findings.

  • Interpret and synthize findings from empirical consumer research, enabling them to communicate research outcomes effectively and with the appropriate caveats to both academic and non-academic audiences.

  • Apply modern econometric techniques to analyze observational data in the context of consumer research, with a particular focus on causal inference.
