ECON 769 / Applied Microeconometrics

3 unit(s)

P. Contoyannis

This course is designed to introduce students to methods for the analysis of microeconomic data, with a particular focus on the use of survey datasets used in applied micro-econometric research. Following an introduction to micro-econometrics and issues in the analysis of survey data, we will discuss models, regression, and causality and the use of instrumental variables. We then consider methods for linear panel data models, both including and excluding dynamics, and models for binary, ordered and count variables. At the end of the course students should be able to develop their own micro-econometric analysis and interpret related studies.
