    Description This course is an extension of the basic course "Statistics II". Building on the introductory econometric concepts of the latter, "Applied Econometrics" deals with econometric methods and their practical application in the presence of particular problems such as:
    1) nonlinear models
    2) heteroscedasticity (non-constant variances of the residuals)
    3) non-random sampling
    4) measurement errors in variables
    5) omitted variables and endogeneity
    6) time constant omitted variables (“fixed effects”) in panel data

    As practical illustration and for further intuition, the contents of the lecture are applied to real data in 4 PC lab sessions using the statistical software “R”. A short introduction to “R” is provided in the first PC lab.

    The course documents you find on our website (see "Other information" below)
    Training objectives Students should be able to understand and practically apply the statistical/econometric models and methods discussed in the lecture.
