The course will consists of fourteen (14) 90 minutes lectures with at least 20-30 minutes for discussion. The discussion will include a presentation of an individual student or a small team (2 – 3 people). The presentations would apply the methods covered in the readings and class lectures to a particular issue. In addition, there will be 7 practical sessions (seminars) that will focus on application of econometrics methods in Stata (or R on a voluntary basis). Occasionally, we will invite guest lectures to speak on an empirical topic of their choice where they use methods covered in the course.
