Description

This course aims to develop students' knowledge of the theory and practice of building causal econometric models for real-world application. Effective modelling requires a deep understanding of economic data, familiarity with a number of model design principles and an awareness of commonly-met construction problems and how to overcome them. These themes are discussed in sequence, in the context of two diverse applications. The presentation emphasises practicalities, rather than formal rigour.
