Outline (in English)

Course outline
This course explains microeconometric methods from both a theoretical and practical perspective. Microeconometrics is a statistical approach used to analyze individual- and household-level as well as firm-level (micro)data. Analyses using microdata often focus on limited dependent variables (that is, quantitative variables whose range of possible values is restricted) or on qualitative dependent variables (variables that take discrete values), for which the use of ordinary least squares (OLS) techniques is inappropriate. This course presents the appropriate estimation techniques for these different types of variables and explains how the estimation results are interpreted.
 
Learning objectives
At the end of the course, students are expected to acquire the ability to conduct data analysis based on microeconometrics.
 
Learning activities outside of classroom
Before/after each class meeting, students are expected to spend four hours to understand the course content.
