Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Participants will be familiar with the econometric methods used for economic panel data.
The following topics are covered:
1. Models for panel data (fixed and random effects, one-way and two-way, estimation)
2. Tests (poolability, Hausman test, autocorrelation, heteroskedasticity)
3. Dynamic panels (Nickell bias, instrumental variable estimation, generalized method of moments)
4. Panel tests for unit root
The implementation of econometric methods is explained using the software Stata. Slides are made accessible to participants.

Assessment and permitted materials

- written test (45%)
- empirical project (55%)
The empirical project consists of writing a short paper, presenting own results and discussing the results of fellow students. Dropping the course without a grade is possible before the test. Passing the course requires both at least 50% of the maximum achievable points and attendance at the written test. Dates for test and presentations are convened in class.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

50% of the maximum achievable score, participation in the test
