| Målbeskrivelse | |||||||||||||||||
| The main objective of the course is to provide an introduction to the more advanced themes in econometric modeling with an emphasis on application of estimation techniques and statistical testing. After completing the course it is expected that the student is able to: Knowledge: - Reflect about the appropriate choice of estimator given certain types of data such as panel data, data with a binary dependent variable and other types of limited dependent variables. - Reflect about econometric problems and solutions in relation to endogenous regressors. Skills and competencies: - Understand the concepts of consistency, unbiasedness and asymptotic normality of estimators. - Understand the concept of prediction, and understand that the calculation of expected values varies between models. - Understand the concept of endogeneity - Discuss the results of econometric analyses based on model assumptions and limitations. - Interpret outcomes of econometric analyses and draw appropriate conclusions. - Formulate, estimate and interpret results of multiple linear regression models. - Formulate, estimate and interpret results of econometric models for binary dependent variables. - Formulate, estimate and interpret results of econometric models for corner solution responses. (Only corners eq. to zero) - Formulate, estimate and interpret results of econometric models for count data. - Formulate, estimate and interpret results of linear econometric models for panel data. - Formulate, estimate and interpret results of linear econometric models with endogenous regressors. | |||||||||||||||||
