ECO 752 Research Methods II - Econometrics
The purpose of this course is to help students become comfortable and creative as quantitative economics researchers. Toward that end, it introduces a series of econometric techniques by observing life in the trenches, i.e., working through how practitioners have approached and solved econometric problems as a tool for conducting significant research on substantive questions. Students are required to communicate econometric results and in writing assignments ways that are illuminating, persuasive, professional and rigorous. Students will learn at least one major statistical software package.
