Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
The evaluation consists of three components:
- Presentation of an academic paper covering both theory and empirical application (45%),
- Discussion of other presented papers (25%),
- Final quiz testing the overall understanding of the presented papers (30%)Dropping the course without a grade is possible until October 30 but before the own presentation. Passing the course requires at least 50% of the maximum achievable points.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The course aims at providing the students with the ability to apply econometric methods to read and understand academic articles.
By the end of the course, students are expected to have acquired the skills to critically read and understand academic articles. The course should prove in particular useful to those students interested in writing a Master thesis in any applied field.

Examination topics
The course comprises of 1 lecture of 1,5h per week (Note that in several weeks there are two classes and in some weeks there is none).
Each class, one (or two, depending on class size) student presents a paper covering the theory and the empirical application of the article.
All students have to read the papers before and discuss them in class.
In the last class there will be a quiz to evaluate the students' overall understanding of the papers.

- SVAR, cointegration, DSGE models
- instrumental variables, binary choice models, program evaluation
- panel models
- nonparametric estimation
- theory based empirical models (e.g. equilibrium job search models)
- financial econometrics
The course proceeds by presenting and discussing academic papers covering these topics. For this, the student will have to read text books in order to better understand the theory. All students are expected to read and understand all presented articles. The final list of the articles will be determined in the first class (and can take into account students' interest).
