Empirical Economics/Empirische Wirtschaftsforschung, Sommersemester 2020, Mark Trede

The course Empirical Economics gives an overview of the main econometric ideas and techniques. Based on the textbook "Introduction to Econometrics" by Stock and Watson, we will deal with: simple and multiple linear regression models, hypothesis testing in linear regressions, nonlinear regression analysis, the assessment of the validity of empirical studies, instrumental variable regression, and panel data regression. Throughout the course, you will learn to use R to perform empirical studies on your own.
