Course Outline
This is a course in econometric analysis of cross section and panel data that will be useful to anyone in the general area ofapplied microeconometrics, including health and laboreconomists. There are a huge variety of models that are used in this context. We will focus on five which arguablycomprise the foundation for the area: the linear regression model, the fundamental model of binary choice (and a number of variants); models for ordered choices; the multinomial logit model. The cross sectional case will be extended to the panel data case for some of these models. In addition, some attention will be paid to modeling parameterheterogeneity.
Prior knowledge is assumed to include calculus at the level assumed in the first year of a Ph.D program in economics and a course in econometrics at the beginning Ph.D level using a textbook such as; Greene, W.H. Econometric Analysis, 6th edition.
