This course is designed for 1st year graduate students and is taught in English.
The course aims to present and illustrate the theory and techniques of modern econometric analysis.
Least square regression, Large sample asymptotics, Endogeneity, Panel data analysis
✔ Specialist skills | ✔ Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
The first part begins with reviews of the conditional expectation and least square regression. The second part introduces the large sample asymptotics. The third part applies the large sample asymptotics to the least squares. The final part introduces concepts of endogeneity.

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.

Final exam 100% (In-person final). Exam may occur online due to the spread of COVID-19.
The course prerequisites are Econometrics I (level: IEE 200) and Econometrics II (level: IEE 300). I recommend both Introductory Courses in Statistics and Probability (level: IEE 200) and Cliometrics (level: IEE 300) as the prerequisites. Students should be familiar with basic concepts in probability and statistical inference. Familiarity with matrix algebra is preferred.
