Description:

This course presents an introduction to econometric techniques. Econometrics applies statistical methods to problems that interest economists. The core of the course will focus on quantifying economic relationships, testing competing hypotheses, and forecasting. Econometric models can be used to analyze a broad range of applications, for example: analyzing the effects of free agency on baseball salaries, estimating the impact of class size on student performance, forecasting future values of inflation, or measuring the impact of a tax cut on consumer spending. As part of the writing component for this course students will complete an empirical project using techniques from the class.
