Course abstract

The course focuses specifically on cross section and panel data methods. Population assumptions are stated separately from sampling assumptions, leading to simple statements as well as to important insights. The unified approach to linear and nonlinear models and to cross section and panel data enables straightforward coverage of more advanced methods. The program will cover topics like truncated models, censored models, panel models,nonlinear cross-sectional models, sample selection models, dynamic panel models
