課程概述

This course focuses mainly on the specification and estimation of
the linear regression model and extremum estimators.
Advanced topics include generalized method of moments, instrumental variables,
and econometric methods for panel data relevant for empirical research in economics.
 

課程目標
Course Outline:

1. Introduction (A1&2)

2. Least Squares Regression (H1, A3)

3. Asymptotic Theory for Least Squares (H2.1-2.9, A8)

4. Semiparametric Efficiency: Least Squares

5. Endogeneity and Instrumental Variables (A4)

6. Building Blocks of Time Series Models

7. Single-Equation Linear GMM (H3)

8. GMM: Consumption-based Asset Pricing (H7, Newey and McFadden 1994)

9. Panel Data Models (W10, H4-5)

 
課程要求
The course grade will be based on weekly problem sets, a midterm, and a final.
The assignments will consists of both theoretical and programming exercises
which can be done in Matlab, Stata, R, or any other econometric software.
Students should be prepared in matrix algebra and mathematical statistics
at the level of Econ7009 or equivalent.

The van der Vaart book is a good source for a more technical treatment of
asymptotic theory in statistics if you are interested in theoretical econometrics,
but for this class I'll mostly use references which are written more specifically for
economists and econometricians.
