Applied Econometrics for Practitioners
The course aims to teach the tools and techniques of applied
statistics while working with complex household survey data. The
focus of the course will be on cross-sectional econometric analysis,
with some discussion of panel data analysis. The course examples and
exercises will focus on issues related to economic development and
domestic social issues (e.g. poverty, education, health, labor
issues). The course will cover some advanced, but commonly needed,
methods of statistical analysis. The emphasis is on applications,
not derivations, of methodology. The course will entail a
significant amount of data analysis using Stata software.
