Læringsmål
  • Detect situations in which the ordinary least squares estimator is not adequate and be able to explain why.
  • Understand econometric methods of estimation and inference for cross section data and panel data.
  • Understand proofs and derivations in matrix notation.
  • Choosing an econometric model, form those introduced in the course, and explaining why it is the suitable model for the specific situation
  • Interpret estimation results in R/STATA output correctly and comment on appropriateness of their presentation.
  • Relate R/STATA code and R/STATA output to the econometric models introduced in the course
  • Competence in R or STATA to do econometric analysis with the introduced models of the course.
Forudsætninger for at deltage i kurset
The course has a high technical level. Students are expected to have knowledge of the statistical properties of ordinary least squares estimation and maximum likelihood estimation, as well as hypotheses tests about parameters in regression analysis.
Knowledge of matrix algebra, fundamentals of probability and mathematical statistics are required.
Basic knowledge of either R or STATA.

Topics in Cross Section Econometrics:

We consider various violations of common model assumptions (such as Gauss-Markov assumptions), including heteroskedasticity, auto/serial correlation, omitted variables, functional form misspecification, measurement error and simultaneity. We see how this can be tested for and what solutions exist (e.g. robust inference statistics, (F)GLS, IV/2SLS methods). We then consider crafting and estimation of a system of equations including simultaneous equations and seemingly unrelated regression by 2SLS/3SLS and GMM.

 

Topics in Panel Models:

We start with the main static linear panel models: Pooled OLS, FE,RE,FD. We then combine common static linear panel models with IV methods (FD-IV, FE-IV and RE- IV, Hausman-Taylor type models). We consider dynamic panel models (Anderson-Hsiao/ System 2SLS, Arrelano-Bond/ GMM) before we move to nonlinear panel models (binary dependent variable only). Here we extend ML estimation to cope with dependent observations (using Kullback-Leibler Information criterion) and consider methods to correct estimated standard errors and statistics. The final point will be to consider panel attrition/unbalanced panels, if time permits.

 

The econometric theory is illustrated with data examples throughout the course. Sample code for R and Stata is provided and students can choose whether they work with R or Stata.
Beskrivelse af undervisningsformer
The course comprises of 25 hours of lectures and 8 hours of computer classes. The first computer class is an introductory class. The following classes cover problem sets with mainly empirical questions to practice the work on the computer and interpretation of results. There are also theoretical questions to deepen the understanding of the derivation of statistical properties of estimators and the role of model assumptions.
Feedback i undervisningen
