Econometric Applications I

Undergraduate / Graduate

Course one of a two-quarter sequence designed to guide students through the steps of writing a research paper that applies econometric methods to study an economic question of interest. In the course, we will review and supplement our understanding of econometric methods that are frequently used in applied work, along with readings and in-class discussions of research papers to illustrate how applied research is conducted and presented. Along with homework assignments and required readings, during the first quarter, students will identify a topic of interest, locate data sources, review relevant literature, and make a presentation of their research proposal.
