CONTENT SUMMARY
Linear regression models: specification, matrix notation, simulation, and estimation.
Geometry of least squares: projection methods, Frisch–Waugh–Lovell theorem, goodness of fit, and influential observations.
Statistical properties of OLS: unbiasedness, consistency, variance–covariance matrix, estimation accuracy, and model misspecification.
Hypothesis testing in linear regression: single and multiple restrictions, finite-sample and asymptotic inference.
Confidence intervals and robust inference: heteroskedasticity-robust and heteroskedasticity-and-autocorrelation-consistent covariance estimation.
Bootstrap methods: parametric and semiparametric bootstrap.
Instrumental variables: measurement error, simultaneous equations, identification, consistency, and IV estimation.
Generalized least squares and extensions: heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation testing, ARMA models, and panel data models (fixed effects, random effects, and between-groups estimation).
