Descriptif

This course will concentrate on the study of regression analysis using the linear model, starting from the univariate case, extending the presentation to the multivariate case. After a general presentation of the potential uses of econometrics, in particular for the evaluation of public policies, we study in turn:

The Simple Regression Model

Multiple Regression Analysis with Estimation, Inference, OLS asymptotics, with Binary variables

Statistical Inference

Functional Form and Specification

Heteroskedasticity

Panel Data Methods

Endogeneity, Instrumental Variables Estimation

Treatment Effects

Simultaneous Equations

Each Lecture will be followed by a set of applications using a statistical software and real data sets.

This course relies on Wooldridge Introductory Econometrics, A Modern Approach.
