The goals of the course are to provide a systematic approach to thoroughly understand the econometric theory. The course will introduce the linear regression model first. We will then examine the consequences and remedies when the standard assumptions are violated.
The goal of the course is to thoroughly understand the basic econometric theory and to acquire the ability to analyze empirical data.
Linear Regression Analysis, Instrumental Variables Estimation, Two Stage Least Squares, Generalized Least Squares, Panel Data Analysis

At the beginning of each class, solutions to exercise problems assigned during the previous class are reviewed. Towards the end of class, students are given exercise problems related to what is taught on that day to solve.
