Applied Microeconometrics II

Catalog description

This course is designed to: (1) expose students to the most common econometric and statistical techniques used in applied microeconomic research and (2) give students an overview of the different types of micro data and the most common methods used to manipulate these data to create additional data sets and variables. The course is divided into three broad parts. The first part of the course focuses on computational, data, and methodological issues. The second and third parts of the course are divided equally between reduced-form/treatment effects methods and structural choice models and methods and other nonlinear structural and quasi-structural models. Each of the topics in the second and third part make use of the methods learned in the first part.
