                      | Objectives | The course's goal is to provide students with an understanding of advanced econometric models and to enable them to deal with empircal work in a critical manner. The course discusses in detail specification, identification, and estimation techniques. The methods taught will provide students with a clear idea on how to undertake their own empirical projects (e.g., Master's thesis) and on how to critically assess empirical research. |
