Prerequisites |
||
| The course requires that students have basic knowledge of statistics. It is assumed that students know how to calculate and interpret e.g. mean values, standard deviations and correlations, and how to perform basic statistical tests, e.g. comparing means. Knowledge of any particular programming language is not required although some programming experience will be an advantage. Stata will be the statistical software used and all students will be given access to it during the course. | ||
Aim |
||
| The overall aim of the course is to provide econometric analytical tools to PhD students with limited prior econometric experience. Students will be able to identify the appropriate econometric technique given their research question and the available data. Students will be able to distinguish between different econometric models and understand the limitations and pitfalls of each tool taught. | ||
Course content |
||
| The student will be equipped with tools ranging from Ordinary Least Square to Limited Dependent Variables Models and Count Models useful for cross sectional settings. In this context, students will learn how to handle sample selection bias and endogeneity problems. Furthermore, the student will be exposed to panel data estimation and tools for policy evaluation. | ||
Teaching style |
||
| Lectures, workshops, home exercises, student presentations of home exercises. | ||

||
Learning objectives |
||
| Subsequent attending this course, the student should feel substantially better equipped to tackle econometric challenges, conduct rigorous econometric studies and to discuss and comment on econometric work of others. | ||
Exam |
||
| Students are expected to follow the entire program and to attend the final exam. It is a 4 hours written exam in which students individually solve a problem set and write a report using econometric techniques. | ||
