Topics in Applied Micro-econometrics 1011.4556.01

 

Short Description:

The course covers recent empirical research on productivity, innovation, and patents. The focus is on the econometric aspects of this research, though some papers are a blend of applied theory and empirical work. For each topic, lectures and readings cover relevant econometric techniques (e.g., difference-in-differences, marginal treatment effects, regression discontinuity) and will emphasise the identification strategy in empirical papers.
