ECON 4950: Econometrics and Applications

"Male managers with working wives earn less than male managers whose wives are not employed outside the home." * "Working women are more likely to retire early if their husbands exercise regularly." How do researchers come up with such provocative, peculiar and sometimes implausible results? They have taken courses such as ECON 4950, "Econometrics and Applications," where students learn to apply statistical techniques to data. This course teaches the basics of statistical inference and ordinary least-squares regression. The emphasis is on the application of these techniques to actual data. Students will learn PC-SAS as a tool for computing regressions and diagnostics. The class will be a combination of lectures and hands-on computer laboratory work. Course grades will be based on a series of problem sets, a midterm exam and a final. (3 credit hours)

Prerequisites: Econ 2105 and Econ 2106, and DSc 3100 or Math 1070.
