Course description and aims

This course is designed for 3rd year undergraduate students and is taught in Japanese. English language is used for the blackboarding in the preparation for Advanced Econometrics (IEE.B 405).

Student learning outcomes

The course aims to present and illustrate the theory and techniques of modern econometric analysis. Students will be able to explain causal inference and endogeneity.

Keywords

Ordinary Least Squares, Endogeneity, Instrumental Variable, Panel Data

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

The first part begins with concepts of the regression. The second part examines concepts of the endogeneity, instrumental variable technique, and panel data analysis.
