Introductory Applied Econometrics EEP 118, IAS 118

This course is an introduction to applied econometrics. Econometrics is the application of statistical techniques to the analysis of economic questions. The goals for this course are that you all: - Learn the basics of econometrics through real policy analysis and economic research questions, so that you learn to use econometrics for answering economic questions. - Be exposed even superficially to the analysis of binary data, time series, and panel data, and to program evaluation, with real examples, so that you will know to recognize what needs to be done when faced with this sort of data or situation. - Learn to conduct analysis with sophisticated software (R), a highly valuable skill on the job market. - Learn to be critical of regression results interpreted as causal, and how to build an argument towards causal inference. COURSE CAPTURES: I will always record all lectures, and I post remote capture (most likely in the room where the technology is, including slides and my voice) after every lecture on BCourses, and plan to do so in the future.

ARE 242 (expected to teach Spring 2026 onwards)

Quantitative Policy Analysis ARE 242

ARE242 is the first field class in the Agricultural Economics and Policy sequence in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics. The first half covers the applied industrial organization and applied structural econometrics methods of quantitative policy analysis motivated by demand, production, and industrial organization theory. The second half covers reduced-from-quantitative methods motivated by production theory and applied to papers ranging in coverage from global agricultural supply to field-level supply. Course objectives: 1. Teach structural industrial organization models of demand and supply; 2. Estimate and use the applied industrial organization models for quantitative policy analysis;  3. Teach reduced-from-quantitative methods motivated by production theory; 4. Learn and replicate applied papers ranging in coverage from global agricultural supply to field-level supply.
