Textbook:Applied Econometrics for Health Economists: A Practical Guide,second edition
Author(s): Andrew Jones

Description
This course is to introduce students to the appropriate econometric techniques for use with different forms of survey data – known collectively as microeconometrics. There is a strong emphasis on applied work, illustrating the use of relevant computer software applied to large-scale survey data sets. The aim is to illustrate the steps involved in doing microeconometric research:
• formulate empirical problems involving large survey data sets
• construct usable data sets and know the limitations of survey design
• select an appropriate econometric method
• be aware of the methods of estimation that are available for microeconomet-
ric models and the software that can be used to implement them
• interpret the results of the analysis and describe their implications in a statistically and economically meaningful way.
