Econometrics (undergraduate-level)

This is an introductory course to the empirical side of economics. The course will introduce the methods and statistical techniques used to test economic theory and analyze economic data. The importance of econometrics is not limited to economics; the tools you will learn are also widely used outside of economics, in fields ranging from public health, sociology, political science, and psychology to marketing and finance. The main tool of econometrics is regression analysis, which is concerned with uncovering and estimating relationships between different variables. In this course, we will review relevant statistical methods and learn about regression analysis, emphasizing the intuition behind the procedures and how to apply them to real-world data. Towards the end of the course, you should be able to critically assess basic econometric analysis and gain hands-on experience analyzing data and interpreting the results through multiple exercises.
