Qualification Target |
This course aims at endowing students with advanced knowledge in econometric techniques necessary for sound empirical analyses. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Contents |
The course builds up on the course Intermediate Econometrics and provides deeper knowledge on econometric fundamental concepts and on the econometric techniques related to non-linear modelling and estimation (such as maximum likelihood, generalized method of moments, Monte Carlo simulations, bootstrapping, etc.). Thus, the course provides students with the necessary theoretical background in undergoing elaborate empirical research in economics, but also in other fields. The exercise sessions cover theoretical exercises and empirical applications by using the programming language Python. |
