Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This is a course in applied statistics and econometrics. Its main goal is for students to develop the foundations necessary to read and critically assess the empirical evidence, and to implement empirical research independently. The course is taught at an introductory level.

The course is taught on site.

Assessment and permitted materials

Students are graded according to a midterm exam (December 2nd, from 15:00 to 16:30), a final exam (January 27th, from 15:00 to 16:30) and a final project (each 1/3 of the final grade).

For midterm and final exams, no materials (electronic devices, notes, books, etc.) are allowed.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Students should prove a good command (at least 50%) of the course’s topics; 50% - 59% implies a 4; 60% - 69%, a 3; 70% - 84%, a 2; 85% - 100%, a 1.

Examination topics

Topics: probability, random variables, statistical inference, linear regression model, instrumental variables, panel data methods, limited dependent variable models, causal inference
