Mixtape Sessions and ITAM present CodeChella Mexico City
January 11th—14th, ITAM and Mixtape Sessions are hosting a workshop in Mexico City! January 15th will be an additional day for PhD Students
Join us in Mexico City to learn panel data causal inference methods including Difference-in-differences and modern synhetic control! From January 11th — January 14th, Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM) and Mixtape Sessions are teaming up to host an in person workshop. This workshop will dive deep into the intricacies of difference-in-differences and synthetic control estimators, with a strong focus on practical tips and hands-on coding implementations. Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity to enhance your understanding and application of these advanced statistical methods.
On Friday January 15th, Mark Anderson and Daniel Rees will be hosting an add-on workshop for “Doing Applied Research” aimed at PhD Students and early career researchers.
Dates: January 11th — 14th, 2027 (and optional January 15th)
Times: 9:30am - 5pm (GMT-06:00) with a 1.5 hour lunch break
Location: ITAM University

Course Schedule
The four day course will start from the beginnings of DID, bring you up to speed with the modern difference-in-differences literature, and introduce more general panel data inference methods including synthetic control and factor model estimation methods. Here is an outline of topics and who is teaching that topic:
- Review of Difference-in-differences (Scott Cunningham)
- Difference-in-differences with covariates and doubly robust DID (Scott Cunningham)
- Problems with staggered treatment timing (Scott Cunningham)
- Modern approaches to DID estimation (Scott Cunningham)
- Synthetic control (Kyle Butts)
- Advanced Synthetic control and factor model methods (Kyle Butts)
To get a more detailed look at what we cover, you can take a look at all of the material from Codechella Madrid this past spring last year at https://github.com/Mixtape-Sessions/Codechella-Madrid.
