THIS COURSE IS THE SAME AS 'TOPICS IN ECONOMETRICS' OFFERED IN PREVIOUS SEMESTERS. The goal of this course is to develop basic tools to understand and use modern econometric methods. We focus on estimating and making inference for causal effects with a special attention to policy relevant problems. Topics include randomized experiments, natural experiments, matching methods, instrumental variables, and regression discontinuity. We discuss theoretical aspects of these methods with detailed applications. 3 undergraduate hours
