Difference-in Differences Journal Club

by

On July 18, 2018, we will discuss 2 papers and an editorial in which a difference-in-differences analysis was used.  I think this technique may be of interest.

The first paper is by Kwon et al from the University of Washington using the MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounter Database.  This paper can be found here.

The second paper is by Osler et al from the Universities of Vermont, Rochester, and Massachusetts and is available here.  The editorial is by Lee from Harvard and Massachusetts General and is available here.

Please leave comments before or after the in-person journal club are welcome to do so on this page.

Scientific Director Office Hours

by

Greetings everyone:

Following Heena’s example, I will also have office hours on most Wednesday mornings between 8-11 (that way if you also want to meet with Heena, you don’t have to make 2 trips).

Please contact Lori Bardon (Lori.Bardon@osumc.edu) or myself (scott.strassels@osumc.edu) to sign up for 30-minute slots.  I am also available at other times if you prefer.

Best,

Scott

Director Office Hours Beginning July 2018

by

I hope many core faculty (like myself for only the second time in the last 10 years) are able to enjoy the July 4th holiday this Wednesday. As you know, we will not be having our usual SHARP meetings this week. On most Wednesdays moving forward from 8:30-10:30am I will be having office hours to meet with all of you. Please contact Lori Bardon (Lori.Bardon@osumc.edu) to sign up for 30 minute slots. I am always able to schedule at other times as well but I am hoping a recurring block will allow me to be maximally available to mentor, advise, and sponsor all of you in your HSR endeavors.

Heena
