Microeconometrics
Modulinhalt
This course introduces the microeconometric methods needed for the analysis of cross-sectional and panel data and teaches the application of these methods and the programming of the respective estimators using the econometric software STATA. The goal of the course is to be able to read and understand more advanced methods in microeconometric research and to evaluate the output of academic articles using microeconometric methods. In addition, the students should be equipped to untertake their own microeconometric analyses.
Die Veranstaltung basiert auf elektronischen Lerninhalten und wird bei Bedarf interaktive Teile virtuell anbieten.
