Course Description: This course provides the analytical and quantitative skills required to conduct applied statistical research. It also teaches how to think critically about methodology and proper interpretation of results when reading and analyzing empirical research such as that found in academic journals, white papers, and policy papers. The foundation of the course is multivariate regression analysis. The course begins with Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) models and then expands to logistic models, panel data, and experimental methods to evaluate the impact of public policies. It covers common problems with these methods, techniques for diagnosing and addressing these problems, and selecting the appropriate econometric tools to answer any given question.
