The course includes empirical strategies for applied quantitative research. The emphasis will be to develop a solid understanding of the underlying econometric principles of the methods taught, as well as the on their empirical application. The studied subjects include application, analysis of linear and non-linear regression methods and analysis of matching methods, treatment effects, instrument variables, cross-sections and panel data with static and dynamic models, binary selection models and time series estimations. The course is designed to give the students knowledge and understanding of modern methods for study of studies for both limited and large data sets.
