What you’ll learn

  • How to think (and think critically) about Applied Econometrics

This course, jointly with the Introductory 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 complete the first-year sequence by introducing the main methods in Applied Econometrics – the methods for which the recent Nobel Prize in Economics to David Card, Josh Angrist and Guido Imbens has been awarded. Its purpose, shared by the Introductory 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 Potential Outcomes Framework, I set out to illustrate Randomised Experiments (RCTs), Linear Regression, Instrumental Variables (IVs), Difference-in-Differences (DiD), Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD) and provide a brief overview of Panel Data, Matching and Synthetic Control. 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 second/third 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.

    Just started this course, following Introductory Econometrics from the same instructor — a really accessible introduction to the subject so far, explained clearly and conveniently illustrated with examples.

    I want to complement the teacher, the course is very well prepared. The content is valuable and precise and it fitted very well with what I was looking to deepen my knowledge in. I am an Economics Undergraduate student in the UK and, after 4 years of modules, this one had the power to add a lot more information and skills to my archive. Kudos to the teacher.

    Nearly finished the first half of the course. it has been useful to better understand topics from my undergraduate econometrics course and how to efficiently apply such concepts to empirical works. The lessons are clearly explained and the instructor manages to carefully explain all the intuitions. A really helpful course!

    The recorded volume is too low and a lot of time is wasted writing when a pre-created slide would do.

    The lessons are poorly delivered. The Instructor just keep mumbling. The Instructor should plan his words beforehand, that way he won’t sound like mumbling to himself. Please consider that there are some of the students like me, not a native english user. Thank you for your consideration.
