Abstract

This course provides students with skills in basic econometrics analysis for management studies. In addition, the course covers the theoretical aspect of linear and discrete choice models. These models are the most popular ones in econometrics analysis for management studies, and they are frequently used for empirical term papers and bachelor theses. In sum, the course provides a balanced study of applied and theoretical aspects of econometrics, all of which are necessary for basic econometric analysis.

Learning Objectives

• Students master their skills in the linear regression analysis.
• Students learn how to estimate the model with the binary dependent variable.
• Students learn how to estimate FE and RE panel models
• Students learn how to estimate Diff-in-Diff model
• Students learn how to estimate simple time series models

Expected Learning Outcomes

• be able to apply DiD model
• be able to estimate basic time series regression model
• be able to estimate GARCH and ARCH models
• be able to estimate the IV regression model
• be able to estimate time series models measuring basic causal effects
• be able to identify cases when it is possible to use IV regression models
• be able to interpret ARCH and GARCH models
• be able to interpret the DiD model
• be able to interpret the model
• be able to plot time series data in STATA
• the understanding of what a strong and a weak instrument is
• the understanding of what a time series econometric model is
• the understanding of what an experiment in econometric research is

Course Contents

• Instrumental Variables Regression
• Experiments and Quasi-Experiments
• Introduction to Time Series Regression and Forecasting
• Estimation of Dynamic Causal Effects
• Additional Topics in Time Series Regression

Assessment Elements

• Seminar Activity
• Exam (Projects)
  The commission and the exam retake: If a student retakes the exam (the first retake), we apply the formula of our course. In the commission, we do not take into account the cumulative mark. In case of dispute on any question, the final decision regarding the matter is taken by a group of lecturers teaching this course.

Interim Assessment

• 2021/2022 4th module
  If the student attends more than 50% of seminars: Final mark=0.30*Mark for the Seminar Activity+0.70*Mark for the Exam (Projects); If the student attends 50% or fewer seminars: Final mark=0.30*Mark for the Seminar Activity*Proportion of attended seminars (over a total number of seminars)+0.70*Mark for the Exam (projects).
