Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Aims and Contents

The aim of the course is to provide students a thorough understanding of theoretical foundations and proper applications of instrumental variable estimation and econometric techniques for panel data and microeconometric data. The course will cover two-stage least squares, seemingly unrelated regression, fixed-effects and random-effects panel estimation as well as econometric models for categorical data and for limited dependent variables. Examples and applications will be illustrated using the open-source software R.
In an accompanying tutorial, students will deepen the material based on exercises and applications using R.

Form of Teaching
The course will be taught in class. All necessary information and possible short-term announcements will be provided through the Moodle site of the course.

Ziele und Inhalte
Ziel des Kurses ist es, den Studierenden ein Verständnis der theoretischen Grundlagen und der richtigen Anwendung der instrumentellen Variablenschätzung und ökonometrischer Techniken für Paneldaten und mikroökonometrische Daten zu vermitteln. Der Kurs behandelt die Methode der Zweistufige kleinsten Quadrate, spurious Regression, Fixed-Effects- und Random-Effects-Panel-Schätzung sowie ökonometrische Modelle für kategoriale Daten und für begrenzte abhängige Variablen.
Beispiele und Anwendungen werden anhand der Open-Source-Software R veranschaulicht. In einem begleitenden Tutorium vertiefen die Studierenden den Stoff anhand von Übungen und Anwendungen mit R.
Alle notwendigen Informationen und mögliche kurzfristige Ankündigungen werden über die Moodle-Seite des Kurses bereitgestellt.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Assessment
The assessment consists of the following parts:

(i) Three Exams, a 45 min:
Part I, June 3, 2025, (HS 1, 16:45-17:30), on the correspond. topics covered in the course.
Part II, June 26, 2025 (HS 14 13:15-14:00); on the corresponding topics covered in the course.
Part III, June 26, 2025 (HS 14, 13:15-14:00); on R.
Questions can consist of multiple-choice questions, analytical derivations and interpretations of empirical results.

For the Exam the Moodle system will be used. Hence, it is necessary to have your laptops with you!

ii) Take-home assignments. Students have to solve and have to hand in written assignments. They can consist of multiple-choice questions, analytical derivations, and interpretations of empirical results. Solved exercises have to be uploaded to the Moodle system before the start of the exercise part on Wednesday, no matter whether you choose to attend the exercise part on Wednesday or on Thursday.

Necessary material for (i-iii): you need a laptop, for all exams moodle will be used.

Grading:
For the final grade the individual assignments count as follows:
i) Three exams: 75%, 25% each
ii) Assignments: 25%
iii) Extra points for class room participation in the “exercise block”, 3% per participation.

Important: Aside from the three assignments, there will be no additional examination possibilities afterwards.

To pass the course, a minimum level of 50% has to be reached.

Rating:
[86%; 100%]: 1.0
[74%; 86%): 2.0
[62%;74%): 3.0
[50%; 62%): 4.0
[0; 50%): 5.0

Examination language: English.
