Art/Form	online
Voraussetzungen	The course aims at students with a basic knowledge in statistics and complements some of the topics treated in 'Methods in Econometrics I and II'.
Lernorganisation	Guided computer tutorials; students are expected to deepen their knowledge by completing self-contained R-exercises and by presenting/explaining code snippets.

Qualifikationsziele	The course aims at providing students with a basic understanding, which regression models to employ for certain types of variables and data structures. A further course objective is to enable students to choose between competing model specifications and to judge if a given model is (severely) misspecified.

Kommentar/Beschreibung

The course focuses on estimating regression models and evaluating the estimated specifications with the statistical software R. Model evaluation procedures discussed in class range from graphical methods, classic validation techniques and tests to simulation-based approaches. The effects of variables being measured on different scales and variable transformations are discussed. Dealing with different data structures such as cross-sections, time series, and panel data is also covered in class.
