This skill covers applied microeconomic empirical methods and research design. Use when the user is selecting an identification strategy, comparing estimators, running diagnostics, designing a research study, or evaluating an empirical strategy. Triggers on "which method", "what estimator", "how to choose", "method comparison", "empirical strategy", "research design", "applied micro", "identification strategy", "power analysis", "design-based", "model-based", "minimum detectable effect", "specification".
Applied Micro Toolkit Reference for applied micro research design: method selection, diagnostics, inference, pitfalls, reporting standards, and power analysis. When to Use This Skill Use when the user is: Choosing between empirical methods for a causal question Evaluating which identification strategy fits their data and setting Running standard diagnostic tests and unsure which ones apply Designing a study and needs to calculate statistical power Reviewing or critiquing an empirical strategy…
