Introduction to Econometrics
ECON 1123

Course Information

Description

An introduction to multiple regression techniques with focus on economic applications. Discusses extensions to discrete response, panel data, and time series models, as well as issues such as omitted variables, missing data, sample selection, randomized and quasi-experiments, and instrumental variables. Also develops the ability to apply econometric and statistical methods using computer packages.

Course Notes

Students may take both Economics 1123 and Statistics 139 for credit. However, Statistics 139 will not count as the econometrics requirement for the economics concentration. Only one course can count towards EC credit; either Economics 1123 or Economics 1126. Both courses can count towards college credit regardless of the order they are taken.
