During this webinar, Dr OUKHALLOU, shed light on the modern policy evaluation tools and techniques used by prestigious universities and institutions across the globe and demonstrated their adequacy with public finance evaluation in Morocco, in light of previous international experiences.

  • Randomized control trials (RCT);
  • Simple differences;
  • Difference-in-differences;
  • Propensity score matching;
