Applied Econometrics

This is an application-oriented course, designed for the graduate level students in the School of Agricultural Economics & Rural Development at Renmin University of China at the end of May, 2007. Therefore, some prerequisite of basic econometrics and mathematics is assumed to be satisfied. Application-oriented means that the course does not pay much attention on the econometric theories, such as proof of the efficiency of estimators, but focuses on the application to the economic analysis: How to construct a good model? How to estimate it? How to test it and how to explain it?

In order to understand the course materials better, learning-by–doing is considered a necessary and good tool. We will use computational software, mainly Stata 8.0 and Eviews 4.0, to construct some appropriate econometric models with some Chinese data as examples in the classes.
