description and objectives: The goal
of this course is to develop your skills in econometric analysis. We will use statistical theory as a basis
for learning different approaches to estimating relationships between
economic variables. The focus of this
course will be primarily on linear methods, although there will be some
coverage of a few nonlinear techniques.
In the course, we will discuss how each method works and how to
determine if that method is appropriate in a given situation. There will also be a significant amount of
practice in using our methods with real data.
