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).
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.
Ordinary Least Squares, Endogeneity, Instrumental Variable, Panel Data
✔ Specialist skills | ✔ Intercultural skills | Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
The first part begins with concepts of the regression. The second part examines concepts of the endogeneity, instrumental variable technique, and panel data analysis.
