Professional competences:

The course provides a hands-on introduction to the main methods of empirical economic research. We start with a discussion of the relevant statistical concepts for estimation and inference. Then we extensively cover the simple and the multiple linear regression model. While we discuss some important theoretical derivations, we put a special emphasis on the application with statistical software and the interpretation of empirical results. The exercise sessions enhance and extend the understanding of the contents of the lecture. 

Comments:

The contens of the courses "Econometrics 1" and "Econometrics 2" are expected to be known.
