This module aims to build on year 2 econometrics (ECON212 & ECON213) by understanding advanced techniques that are used in applied econometrics. Specifically, in this module several advanced econometric topics will be covered, and students will be asked to read and critically assess recent published and/or working papers on modern economic/ econometric research and to replicate their techniques in an assessed data project. By completing the module students are expected to acquire a good knowledge of how econometric research and data projects are conducted and gain experience of applied econometrics by completing an individual data project.
