Information
Course Goal / Objective
By the end of the course, students are expected to be completely mastered all aspects of the Least Squares Estimation and be familiar and able to use the methods Maximum Likelihood and Generalized Method of Moments
Course Content
This course is the first part of a two semester sequence designed to provide students with the applications of economic theory and econometric methods. To this end an overview of econometric methods and their applications believed to be the most useful will be presented. We will discuss how to use economic theory and data to estimate key parameters, test economic hypotheses, and predict economic outcomes
