Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

The objective of this course is to help students understand several important advanced econometrics techniques in cross-section and panel data models and how they can be used in empirical research and practical applications. Emphasis will be placed on appreciating its scope, understanding the essentials underlying the various methods, and developing the ability to relate the methods to important issues faced by a researcher.
At the end of this course, students will be able to use computer based statistical packages to analyze data, will understand how to interpret the output and will be confident to "drive" the analysis process. Emphasis is on being able to use the methods effectively, and on understanding the methods, their appropriateness and their limitations

Prüfungsstoff

The course will be given primarily through lecture and class discussion. Each student is strongly encouraged to participate in class discussion and responsible for coming to the class prepared to contribute substantively to the class discussion. Classroom participation is a vital part of this course. Generally, an analysis of the readings will be used to guide our discussion, but the format will be free-flowing and may vary considerably. In each lecture, we collectively share ownership and responsibility for the success of the course. A minimum requirement for each class meeting is to have read the assigned material from the reference books and articles, and to express opinions, comments, and insights relative to the discussion topic. Students are also expected to participate in all class activities. Excessive tardiness and absenteeism will negatively affect your contribution grade.

Software
The STATA software will be used throughout. You may use any other software packages you prefer for assignments or projects as long as they can perform required tasks. However, it seems necessary to use STATA for most students.
