Survey experiments, which leverage the power of experimental design, are widely used in political and social science across multiple subfields. By combining the causal inference gained by randomization with the opportunities of surveys to target populations of interest, they open up research to new questions and rigour of analysis.

This course will provide an overview of the main techniques of survey experiments, including question order, list, vignette, and conjoint experiments. We will use published research, particularly on Southeast Asia, and provide an opportunity for students to begin creating their own survey-experimental research design.

The masterclass takes place over two days, with four modules of three hours.
