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.

This course is “self-contained” in the sense that the only prerequisites are (1) introductory economics and econometrics, and (2) basic calculus, linear algebra, and statistics (these basic mathematical methods are required for calculation purposes; deep understanding of mathematical theories is not required). This course focuses on the ideas and intuitions of models, methods, and proofs. Empirical examples and applications will be given. 

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
 Students are expected to review and study the theories developed in classes.
