This introduction to program evaluation and multiple regression analysis trains students to critically consume empirical studies and conduct their own empirical research. We use education data and examples to teach course concepts, including class size, education finance and the returns to education in the labor market.

Stange's research lies broadly in empirical labor and public economics, with a focus on education and health care. His prior research includes studies of college enrollment and persistence, the effect of resources and peers on community college students, the importance of amenities in college choice, and the effects of different pricing structures on major choice and student credit load.
