Presentation:
The aim of this course is to provide the students with the necessary analytical tools to
- formulate appropriate econometric models
- estimate them
- and draw proper inference, using micro level data related to health issues, for instance data from health surveys.
The key features of such data sets are their qualitative nature and/or panel type structure. Hence it is important to know and be able to apply the models and methods specially designed for incorporating the particular characteristics of these data sets.
Objectives:
At the end of the course the student would know how to:
(1) Specify a suitable econometric model for investigating the problem under study;
(2) Confront the theoretical model with empirical observations; and
(3) Draw proper conclusions based on the results.
