Goals |
Thorough understanding of the most frequently used econometric models and methods for the analysis of panel data, categorical choice and limited dependent variables.
Some practice in the application of the methods, the interpretation of the models, and the evaluation of inferences. The experience of conducting a theoretical, experimental and/or empirical investigation of the methods. |

Description |
The main topics of the course are (1) unobserved effects models for panel data, (2) probit and logit models for discrete choice, (3) tobit and related censored regression models, (4) models dealing with sample selectivity, and (5) the estimation of average treatment effects (a.k.a. policy impact evaluation). Dynamic extensions of the models are considered when feasible. Estimation and testing methods are applied in a number of empirical assignments and their properties are investigated.
