Content
This course covers a number of central models and methods employed in modern microeconometric research. The emphasis is on different types of dependent varia-bles and data structures (cross section and panel data). The connection between economic theory and empirical methods is emphasized. Specifically, the topics covered in the course include
- Discrete choice models
- Tobit models
- Sample selection models
- Survival / duration analysis
- The bounds approach
- Panel data estimators
- Calculation of standard errors

Learning outcomes
After the course, the student should know the basic properties and limitations of the microeconometric models discussed, and be able to implement them in empiri-cal research. The student also appreciates the connections between economic the-ory and empirical methods. The course also works as a foundation for more ad-vanced methodological and applied courses in microeconometrics.
