Goals
1. The student will learn to model simple econometric problems in the Bayesian framework.
2. The student will learn how to implement simulation-based Bayesian inference procedures for standard econometric models in the statistical programming software R and how to interpret estimation results.
3. The student will learn how to assess the appropriateness and accuracy of different simulation methods in different examples.
Description
Students will learn basic principles of Bayesian inference in econometrics focusing on computational techniques. They will acquire the skills to implement simulation based Bayesian inference procedures for standard econometric models in the statistical programming software R. Being able to implement and apply simulation based statistical methods is fundamental for the application of Bayesian methods to econometric problems.
