ECON 1123: Introduction to Econometrics

This course introduces state-of-the-art methods for answering important public policy questions, such as quantifying the causal effect of incarceration on recidivism or measuring the causal effect of unemployment insurance on unemployment durations. Students will learn how to develop, evaluate, and implement their own research designs to answer these types of questions and quantify uncertainty associated with such estimates. The class concludes with time series forecasting and financial econometrics. Most students will have taken one prior course in statistics or probability theory, such as STAT 104, ECON 20, or STAT 110.
