Econometric theory provides techniques to quantify the strength and form of relationships between variables. Econometric methods are concerned with the appropriate use of these techniques in practical applications in economics. This unit provides an introduction to the theory and practice of econometrics, and discusses general principles for undertaking applied work. Topics may include simple and multiple regression, cross-sectional and panel data, instrumental variables, nonlinear regression, and limited dependent variable models. We will cover theoretical and conceptual foundations, and provide applied examples with programming in software such as Stata.
