1 Business Applied Econometrics - Spring 2018 Instructor: Christian Hansen Office: HPC 329 Phone: chansen1@chicagobooth.edu TA: Jianfei Cao jcao0@chicagobooth.edu Syllabus Overview In this course, we will discuss statistical methodology for use in econometric settings. The course will cover topics such as basic treatment effect models, review doing inference with dependent data, outline some common discrete choice models, and introduce nonparametric and high-dimensional estimation. It is assumed that students have a good understanding of linear regression and methods of performing classical inference using asymptotic approximations for linear and nonlinear models. Grades will be determined by homework that may be done in groups (25%), an in-class midterm (25%), and an in-class final (50%). Course Website: Text and Class Notes There is no required text for this course. Some recommended texts are Econometrics by Hayashi, Econometric Analysis of Cross Section and Panel Data by Wooldridge, Mostly Harmless Econometrics by Angrist and Pischke, and An Introduction to Statistical Learning by James, Witten, Hastie, and Tibshirani. The last book is available as a free downloadable pdf at Office Hours and Review Sessions is the fastest and most reliable way to contact me. I do not have official office hours, but I am happy to meet with anyone who would like to make an appointment with me. Also, feel free to stop by my office (HPC 375) if you have a question.
