Abstract
The course “Applied Paned Data and Spatial Econometrics” is aimed at students with background in statistics and econometrics who would like to deepen their knowledge of econometric analysis of panel data and spatial econometrics.
Learning Objectives
- deepen their knowledge of econometric analysis of panel data and spatial econometrics
- deepen their knowledge of econometric analysis of panel data and spatial econometrics.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- Be able to choose an estimator based on its statistical features, assumptions underlying related theory, and the nature of data at hand.
- Understand econometric theory underlying fixed effects and random effects models, first difference model, dynamic panel model, Taylor-Hausman model, panel data fixed effects and random effects models, first order spatial lag model and related models, panel data and binary choice spatial models, heteroscedasticity and serial correlation robust estimators.
