Regression Analysis and Causal Inference

课程简介

Course Description:
This course covers the Econometrics topics related to the linear regression models. We will discuss the estimation and identification of the linear regression models. We further explore the common mistakes and issues in the estimation, the corresponding statistical inferences, and the interpretation of the estimation results. The topics include the Gauss Markov Theorem, the Frisch–Waugh–Lovell theorem, regressor choices, endogenous regressors, non-spherical disturbances, measurement errors, and limited dependent variable models.

– Sample Mean and the Concept of Averages
