Students will understand the major causes of bias inefficiency in ordinary least squares regression, and learn alternative methods for minimizing these problems. The focus of the course is on the application of econometric techniques to real world problems encountered in economics. As such, students will learn basic applications programming skills for managing data and estimating econometric models.  Topics include data transformation, measurement error, simultaneous equations, time series, panel data methods, and limited dependent variables.
