The goal of this course is to provide students with a thorough understanding of a variety of econometric models that economists use for empirical microeconomic research. Special emphasis will be given to the application of these models to economic data in recent empirical research, in order to illustrate how they can be employed to answer empirical questions in different fields, labor or health economics or finance research questions. Put particular emphasis on the interpretation of the results and on learning to use the econometric software “STATA”.
