Introductory Econometrics: econometric techniques
Order Description
write a report on econometric techniques used in one published economics paper.
Simply pick any economics paper that has an econometric analysis (regressions, etc.). Any economics paper that uses some of the econometrics techniques learned in
class is acceptable. Then write a report critiquing the methodology of the paper. For example, can you think of an omitted variable bias that the author(s) failed to
consider? More generally, do you think the results have internal validity? How about external validity? You can do this in a very brief way: a 1 to 2-page report is
enough.
