Microeconometrics

This unit involves the analysis of micro-level cross-sectional and panel data to study the behaviour of individuals and other micro-units as decision makers. It studies the specification, estimation, inference and evaluation of a range of microeconometric models. These include models for discrete, count, duration, censored or truncated dependent variables and examine issues arisen from sample selection and endogenous treatment. You will also gain hands-on experience and computation skills for analysing large scale micro datasets. The computing package used for the unit is STATA.
