Description
In this course, you will learn:
- How to use the econometrics "Furious Five": random assignment, regression, instrumental variables, regression discontinuity designs, and differences-in-differences procedures.
- Do you think econometrics is boring? So it was once, but it will no longer exist! We avoid theoretical monotony by asking actual empirical questions that bring the figures to life. Does a private university education lead to increased earnings? Do lower drinking ages endanger lives? Econometrics reveals the answers.
