Information

Description

The course provides theoretical tools in econometrics and empirical applications on Stata software. The course focuses on cross-sectional data analysis with a primary focus on linear regression, postestimation and interpretations. Binary dependent variable regression analyses are also part of the first part of the course. The second part of the course deals with ways to address estimator biases, including biases to causal interpretation. This part of the course focuses on impact evaluation methods (Randomized control trial, instrumental variables, difference in differences) and an introduction to panel data analysis. Each class should be divided in two unequal times, the theoretical part and the empirical application using data (from open access portals or from recently published economic papers). Both cross-sectional and panel data are used.

COURSE REQUIREMENT

  • Run linear and non-linear regressions on Stata.
