  • Statistics and Econometrics III –  is the third course in the econometrics series. The goal of this course is to continue building a theoretical foundation and practical skills needed for independently conducting an econometric research project. The focus of the course is on the application, however, no proper application is possible without understanding the underlying assumptions behind each method. Such knowledge will allow the students to understand both the advantages of each method and its limitations. This course is built around techniques of analysis of cross-sectional and panel data.

On the practical side, students will learn to embrace complexity of identification due to various data issues, such as attrition, non-balanced panels, pecuniary revenue vs. physical volumes of output, issue of outliers. Students will also understand possible sources of data and various limitations of such data set.
