Course overview and goals
This course is designed for 1st year graduate students and is taught in English.
Course description and aims
The course aims to present and illustrate the theory and techniques of modern econometric analysis.
Keywords
Least square regression, Large sample asymptotics, Endogeneity, Panel data analysis
Competencies
- Specialist skills
- Intercultural skills
- Communication skills
- Critical thinking skills
- Practical and/or problem-solving skills
Class flow
The first part begins with reviews of the conditional expectation and least square regression. The second part introduces the large sample asymptotics. The third part applies the large sample asymptotics to the least squares. The final part introduces concepts of endogeneity.

Study advice (preparation and review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.

Prerequisites
The course prerequisites are Econometrics (level: IEE 300). I recommend both Introductory Courses in Statistics and Probability (level: IEE 200) and Cliometrics (level: IEE 300) as the prerequisites. Students should be familiar with basic concepts in probability and statistical inference. Familiarity with matrix algebra is preferred.
