| Inhalt | Outline: 1. Causal effects and the logic of randomized experiments 2. Linear regression: Estimation, small and large sample properties, hypothesis testing, omitted variable bias, model selection, functional form, heteroscedasticity, autocorrelation, clustering 3. Instrumental variable estimation: Estimation, identification, weak instruments 4. Panel data: fixed effects, random effects 5. Maximum likelihood estimation 6. Binary choice: probit and logit |
| Lernziele | This course provides students with the basic econometric tools for cross-section and panel data. It is an applied course preparing students to both conduct own empirical research projects and assess empirical research papers. Each of the discussed tools will be implemented using standard statistical software (Stata or R) and real world data. Students will learn how to choose the adequate statistical method, discuss its identifying assumptions, correctly interpret its results and to translate them into economically meaningful answers. This course is supplemented by the course “Advanced Econometrics” (41957) which provides formal proofs and additional results. |
| Literatur | Any textbook in econometrics covers the topics developed in this course. The technical level of this course will be closer to the introductory text- books. However, students with a strong mathematical background may find the advanced textbook more appropriate. The two companions are not self-contained textbooks but useful to deepen the intuitive understanding. Introductory textbook: - Stock, James H. and Mark W. Watson (2020), Introduction to Econometrics, 4th Global Edition, Pearson. Advanced textbooks: - Cameron, A. Colin and Pravin K. Trivedi (2005), Microeconometrics: Methods and Applications, Cambridge University Press. - Davidson, Russell and James G. MacKinnon (2004), Econometric Theory and Methods, Oxford University Press. - Hayashi, Fumio (2000), Econometrics, Princeton University Press. - Wooldridge, Jeffrey M. (2010), Econometric Analysis of Cross Section and Panel Data, 2nd ed., MIT Press. Companion textbooks: - Angrist, Joshua D. and Jorn-Steffen Pischke (2009), Mostly Harmless Econometrics: An Empiricist's Companion, Princeton University Press. |
| Bemerkungen | Students who plan to take other courses in econometrics should also follow the course "Advanced Econometrics" (41957) along with "Econometrics" (12036). Students studying under the expiring study regulation will be admitted to the exam, even if the system should give the feedback that this is no longer possible. |
