Participants discuss recent research in econometrics and present their own work in progress. Open to doctoral students in economics.

In this course, modelled on the successful "what's new in econometrics" course we taught at the NBER in the summer of 2007, we will discuss developments in econometrics over the last decade and a half.

The focus will be on methods that are relevant for, and ready to be used by, empirical researchers, and the course is aimed at such researchers. Although most of the econometrics literature obviously aims to be relevant to empirical researchers, many methods in early stages of development are still subject of debates in the econometrics community. Here we focus largely on...

IRP will host an "Applied Microeconometrics Workshop" taught by Guido Imbens, Harvard University, and Jeffrey Wooldridge, Michigan State University. The workshop is modeled on the successful course “What’s New in Econometrics,” which they taught at NBER in summer 2007.

Imbens and Wooldridge will discuss developments in microeconometrics over the last decade and a half. The focus will be on methods that are relevant for, and ready to be used by, empirical researchers, and the workshop is aimed exactly at such researchers. In contrast to...
