Title:  Causal Inference in Marketing

Author: Evgeny Antipov, PhD, Associate Professor of the Department of Management at HSE University in Saint-Petersburg

Abstract: Causal inference is always challenging in the absence of experimental data. The aim of the presentation is to motivate researchers to conduct causal modeling in their domains by showing several illustrative examples of real research conducted by the speaker and by other researchers as well.  The presentation will give an overview of some of the recent applications of various causal modeling techniques (other than the standard multiple regression) for isolating the effects of online ratings, coupon promotions, etc. on consumer demand in various industries. Methods including, but not limited to, regression discontinuity design and synthetic control groups will be discussed briefly. A carefully selected list of books and online resources for a quick start in modern causal inference will be suggested.
