Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This is a course in which students will reinforce the tools learned in Introductory Econometrics (BA) by applying them to real world data sets using econometric software. Prior knowledge at the level will be assumed throughout the course. The aim of the course is for students to get hands on experience in analyzing observational data using the open source programming language R and acquire the tools to carry out empirical research projects on their own.

Assessment and permitted materials

Four problem sets (total of 60%), final exam (40%). The problem sets can be done in groups of up to three.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Students should hand in all problem sets and attend the final exam. A minimum of 51% is required to pass the course.
