After successful completion of the course, students are able to

• discuss regression models with stochastic independent variables,
  
  
• to discuss and to apply instrumental variables estimates and (generalized) method of moments estimators and
  
  
• to explain the most important classes of models for panel data and to compute the respective estimates.

Econometric methods and models (regression models with stochastic independent variables, instrumental variables, generalized method of moments, panel data analysis)

Mix of lectures on the blackboard, exercises and data demonstration examples

Documents, exercises, etc. are provided in the associated TUWEL course. Therefore, registration in the TUWEL course is absolutely necessary. (The non-binding registration is done by "self-enrollment").

Participation during the whole semester and a oral final examination.

Lecture notes for this course are available. Office EOS (E105-2), Freihaus, yellow area, 4th floor. Price: 5Euro.
