What you’ll learn

  • How to think (and think critically) about Econometrics

This course, jointly with the Introductory Applied Econometrics course, provides the most comprehensive and serious overview of first-year Econometrics available, to date, on Udemy.

I don’t have to be here. But if I am going to be here, I am going to do it right and set the benchmark as to how Economics should be taught. Because I take students and their exams and their personal development seriously (on that note, feel absolutely free to reach out for any question or doubt that may arise as you delve into the material). Because, when I was taken seriously by my professors, everything became clearer and more engaging. Because the world is in dire need of engaged, curious people who act according to the brains instead of their stomach, people who let serious social science guide their gaze upon the surrounding world instead of random nonsense. A thoughtful world is a better world. I am strongly convinced that a serious study of proper economics helps moving toward that end.

In this course, I set out to introduce the first-year sequence by introducing the main methods in Econometrics. Its purpose, shared by the Introductory Applied Econometrics course too, is to lay the foundations for deeper and more comprehensive studies in Econometrics. Hence, I spend little time dwelling on the mathematical derivation and statistical nuances, covering only the bare minimum, and more time trying to convey the intuition, the concept and, essentially, why should you care. Namely, after having introduced the Simple Linear Regression Model, I set out to illustrate the Multiple Linear Regression Model, Functional Forms, Dummy Variables (both as Independent and Dependent Variables) and the main issues that plague Linear Regression Models (namely, Heteroskedasticity, Multicollinearity and Endogeneity) and their solutions. I cap it off by providing you with a list of Applications, real world examples of what kind of questions these models allow you to address, in the hope that they fire your curiosity up. Which is the only thing that matters.

Who this course is for:

  • Economics Undergraduates who are about to take their first (usually, Intermediate) Econometrics course
  • Social Sciences Undergraduates who have taken a course in Statistics and want to harness data at the next level
  • Undergraduates who have to write any project, dissertation revolving around trying to establish the impact of X on Y
  • Social Sciences Postgraduates who have taken a course in Statistics and want to/have to write any project, dissertation revolving around trying to establish the impact of X on Y
  • Aspiring Policy Experts or Professionals, who need to be able to read and be critical of research and policy briefs they meet in day-to-day lives.

    An amazing course offered to anyone who wants to start learning econometrics. A really deep introduction, focused on all the aspects that an econometrician has to know and explained in a clear way for all.

    As someone with no previous knowledge of Econometrics, I am impressed with how accessible yet comprehensive this course is. The delivery is easy-to-follow, the material is made clear and the instructor often anticipates most of the questions occurring to me. The course has not only dispelled my fear of what I deemed a highly complicated subject, but also ignited my interest to learn more. Overall, this has been a valuable add-on to my knowledge of introductory Statistics.

    The course is very well laid out and easy to follow. It provides a deep and engaging introduction to econometrics, with a focus on interpretation which I found incredibly helpful. In fact, I believe this was a more thorough introduction than my undergraduate course at the LSE!

    Yes, as someone familiar with the topic it was an easy to digest introduction and introduced notation as it logically made sense to do so.

    This course, together with Intro Applied Econometrics, covers all that is required out of a first year student. It does so in a compelling way and stimulates further studies. I highly recommend it!
