Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
The course aims at providing the students with the ability to apply econometric methods to read and understand academic articles.
By the end of the course, students are expected to have acquired the skills to critically read and understand academic articles. The course should prove in particular useful to those students interested in writing a Master thesis in any applied field.

Zuordnung im Vorlesungsverzeichnis
Letzte Änderung: Mo 07.09.2020 15:28
- SVAR, cointegration, DSGE models
- instrumental variables, binary choice models, program evaluation
- panel models
- nonparametric estimation
- theory based empirical models (e.g. equilibrium job search models)
- financial econometrics
The course proceeds by presenting and discussing academic papers covering these topics. For this, the student will have to read text books in order to better understand the theory. All students are expected to read and understand all presented articles. The final list of the articles will be determined in the first class (and can take into account students' interest).
