This class aims to familiarize the students with the treatment of various types of datas. As such, different econometrics techniques will be presented, covering cross-sectional, panel, and time-series frameworks. Besides, we will also cover limited and qualitative dependent variables, which require particular econometric modelling and interpretations.
A second objective is to allow students to be autonomous in the analysis of these data. To achieve this, tutorials, monitored by 2 teaching assistants will be organized. These sessions will focus on applying the methods seen in class on real data using the Stata software. Besides, they can serve as discussion room for the homework that has to been handed at the end of the period.
The topics that are covered are a combination of topics typically covered in introductory and more advanced courses in econometrics. While some background in econometrics is helpful, the course is also open to students without prior knowledge of econometrics (but willing to study).
