The objective of the course is to help students understand several important modern techniques in econometrics and apply them in empirical research and practical applications. Emphasis of the course will be placed on understanding the essentials underlying the core techniques, and developing the ability to relate the methods to important issues faced by a practicioner.

By completing this course, students will be able to use a computer based statistical software to analyze the data, choose appropriate models and estimators for given economic application, understand and interpret the results in detail (diagnose problems, understand proper inference) and will be confident to carry out the analysis and conclusions with respect to appropriatness and limitation of the methodology used. Finally, students will have sufficient grounding in econometric theory to begin advanced work in the field.

For the topics covered during the semester, we will use chapters mainly from the two textbooks:

(G) Greene, W. H., Econometric Analysis, 7th edition, Prentice Hall, 2012
, (equivalently 8th edition, 2017) please note that older versions of the text are fine too, just be aware of different chapters numbering

(W) Wooldridge, J., Econometric Analysis of Cross-Section and Panel Data, Boston: MIT Press, 2010, 2nd edition

In addition, following textbook can be used
(CT) Cameron, C. and Trivedi, P. K., Microeconomertics: Methods and Applications, New York: Cambridge University Press, May 2005

Other good references:
Maddala, G. S., Limited-dependent and Qualitative Variables in Econometrics, New York: Cambridge University Press, 1982.

Davidson, R. - MacKinnon, J. G.: Econometric Theory and Methods, New York: Oxford University Press, 2003.
Hayashi, F., Econometrics, Princeton: Princeton Univ. Press, 2000.
Gourieroux, Ch. - Monfort, A.: Statistics and Econometric Models: Vol 1 and 2, New York: Cambridge University Press, 1995
(MHH) Martin, V. - Hurn, S. - Harris, D.: Econometric Modelling with Time Series: Specification, Estimation and Testing, New York: Cambridge University Press, 2013
Hansen, Bruce E.: Econometrics (online draft of graduate textbook), University of Wisconsin (last revision: January 2013)



The Davidson and MacKinnon text is a good up-to-date text. Maddala’s text, and the Wooldridge text are excellent for limited dependent and qualitative variables. Hayashi (2002) is much more involved with time series econometrics. Gourieroux and Monfort (1995) is an excellent complementary book for students interested in more technical text (at PhD level). Verbeek is less technical and undergraduate level. A new and rather broad text is Martin, Hurn and Harris (2013).
