Overview of class
This course is concerned with the specification and estimation of relations among economic variables. It begins with a brief survey of basic statistical concepts and follows with an introduction to classical regression models, both simple and multivariate. We'll then consider various pathologies that can arise when conducting empirical research (omitted variables bias, heteroscedasticity, measurement error) and will conclude with an overview of endogeneity issues and the use of instrumental variables.
