| Summary | Applications of Econometrics (AofE) develops econometric techniques beyond the foundational level to cover topics such as nonlinear regression, panel data and instrumental variable estimation. Applications are likely to include production functions, individual behaviour over time and natural experiments. Students will be expected to carry out their own modelling and estimation, developing skills frequently expected of economists in a wide variety of contexts. This is the PG version of the UG course of the same name. |
