課程概述

This course is about applying economics and econometrics to study the real world. We will study important topics in the research frontiers, for example, economic and social interactions in networks, behaviors and information diffusions in economic and social networks, poverty, inequality, and intergenerational mobility.

First, the course focuses more on econometrics because it is about studying the real world. Second, this course emphasizes the integration of economics and econometrics. We will consider the economic foundations of the econometric models and methods.

This course will help students integrating their knowledge in introductory economics and econometrics to the theories in academic research papers. Students will learn a general theoretical structure of economics and econometrics, which will help them progressing from being a student to being a researcher.  

課程目標
This course aims at developing students’ ability of applying economics and econometrics. After the training in this course, hard-working students will be well-prepared for master or doctoral programs at top universities in Asian and western countries, and will have the ability to conduct basic research. 
課程要求
No econometrics knowledge is assumed. Each topic will be developed at the beginner level so that the course is self-contained. But a certain level of mathematical maturity is expected (see Wikipedia for interesting definitions of mathematical maturity).

The prerequisites are introductory knowledge in microeconomics, calculus, linear algebra, probability, and statistics.

Students are expected to know what are market (competitive and non-competitive), demand, supply, differentiation, integration, optimization (unconstrained and constrained), Lagrange multiplier, matrix, vector, probability, distribution, density, expectation, moment, mean, variance, and covariance.

This course is suitable for those who are interested in econometrics and statistics for social sciences. Students who have no training in econometrics but have solid background in mathematics and statistics are welcome. 
預期每週課後學習時數
Students are expected to review and study the theories developed in classes. The examinations essentially test students’ understanding of the theories taught in classes. Performance evaluations are based on homeworks and examinations.

Late submission of homeworks will not be accepted. In principle, make-up examinations will not be given. However, if there are exceptional circumstances so that you cannot take the examinations at the scheduled time, you should contact us before the examinations.
