16036-01 - Lecture: Microeconometrics I (3 CP)
| Semester | spring semester 2013 |
| Course frequency | Every spring sem. |
| Lecturers | Christian Kleiber (christian.kleiber@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | Introductory econometrics courses mainly cover the linear regression model, which is suitable for modelling response variables that may be considered as continuous. However, there are many practical situations where data are naturally discrete, e.g. binary, multinomial, or count data. The course will cover the classical nonlinear regression models for such data. It will use the framework of generalized linear models (GLMs), which provides a unified approach to models such as logit, probit and Poisson regression. Inference will be likelihood based. Empirical illustrations may include data from labor economics, health economics, or marketing, among further sources. The course will make use of the R language for statistical computing and graphics, hence basic knowledge of this software (including data import, running regressions) is expected. |
