This econometrics seminar course will give a brief introduction to literature of partial identification. In particular, I will use examples from the program evaluation and the empirical industrial organization literature to show how the paradigm of partial identification is useful in relaxing modeling assumptions and providing more reliable inference. Other examples will be covered if time permits. After this seminar series, students are expected to understand the ideology of the partial identification and how it can be applied to empirical work.
