Course description
By the end of the semester, the students are expected to be at ease with basic econometric techniques such as setting up a model, testing assumptions and have a critical view on econometric results. Computer classes introduce the student to real life problems and help to understand the theoretical content of the lectures. The course reviews the linear model, ordinary least square regression, hypothesis testing, heteroskedasticity and endogeneity.
Course objectives
To understand classical linear model assumptions, it’s violations, and solutions.
To estimate linear regression models and test its violation using STATA software.
