Continuous assessment of course work

Panel data (combined cross section/time series data) is a data type which has received gradually increasing interest for empirical analysis in economics. This course deals with the econometric modelling, estimation and testing of relationships for panel data. The course will cover econometric theory relevant to panel data, but will concentrate on the application of panel data methods to real world data and to address policy-relevant issues.

Assessment and permitted materials

Assessment will be based on a final exam (40%), two take-home computer-based exercises (25%) and a group project (35%).

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The course will provide basic econometric terminology and estimation and test principles for efficient inference with panel data, as well as showing the potential of panel data to deal with estimation biases following from heterogeneity in individual characteristics and individual behaviour. After taking the course students should be able to formulate static and dynamic econometric models for panel data on the basis of economic theories and to translate models for cross-section data and for time-series data into panel data models. Students should also be able to recognise why panel data is a richer data source than pure cross-section data, pure time-series data and repeated cross sections, and be able to estimate parameters in panel data models from actual observations and testing actual hypotheses by using suitable software. Students should also be able to read and understand project reports and journal articles that make use of the concepts and methods that are introduced in the course.

Examination topics

The course will be taught through a combination of lectures and worked examples.
