General description and relevant information This course is oriented towards both micro- and macro-econometric methods. Topics will be selected from the following: Maximum likelihood estimation, two-stage least squares, vector autoregressive (VAR) models and panel data models. Throughout we will try to emphasize the essential interplay between econometric theory and economic applications.
