| Objectives |
Students understand multiple linear regression models, are aware of the strengths and weaknesses of these models, and can correctly interpret estimation coefficients from these models. They understand empirical economic papers and can assess the quality of such papers. They can perform simple empirical analyses using statistical software (Stata) and real data. They develop practical skills that are necessary for independent empirical research.
