POL 51 Lecture 16: 16 Lecture 6-2 (FINAL REVIEW)
Document Summary
Questions will be like the 20 point questions on the midterm. How to prepare: know the rq, know the theory that provides an answer to the rq, know the central causal hypotheses, for each causal hypotheses, be able to. B. provide examples of values of the variables: know the counterfactual conditions and how fpci applies, know how the study attempted to approximate the counterfactual condition. Leverage to make persuasive causal claims about small-n. What it was that made it convincing to make causal claims about chewa/tumbuka peoples, and not convincing about. Haiti/dv: when we"ve identified that many different variables that could be important, but we only have two cases to look at, the dv is overdetermined. Chewa/tumbuka: alternative approach is to identify all the similarities, and find a variable that differs, which could be the most important. Observational studies: value of iv is only observed, not assigned.
