| Description |
This course discusses recent developments in panel econometrics covering IV-methods in panels, limited dependent variable panel models. Special emphasis will be given to panel methods used for estimation of gravity models of bilateral trade.
There will be a series of lectures where we discuss the main material and applications. Furthermore, we will have be lab sessions, where applications in Stata will be discussed and important applied work published in refereed journals is replicated. The lab sessions include work on a own projects of the students.
Lecture 1: Review of linear one-way and two-way error component models (FE, RE)
Lectures 2 and 3: GMM, weak instruments and IV Estimation in panel models (IV-FE, IV-RE, HT)
Lectures 4 and 5: Maximum likelihood estimation, limited dependent variables and panel data I (Random effects probit, Fixed effects logit)
Lecture 6: Limited dependent variables and panel data II (Multinomial logit and simulated maximum likelihood)
Lecture 7: Limited dependent variables and panel data III (State dependence vs. heterogeneity)
Lecture 8: Limited dependent Variables and Panel data IV (Sample selection in panel models)
Lectures 9 and 10: Poisson and fractional response (cross-section and panel) models
Lectures 11 and 12: Stata programming, Maximum likelihood and GMM estimation in Stata, Discussion and Replication of relevant papers
12 lectures of 1.5 hours (UniS, Schanzeneckstrasse 1, University of Bern) and 5 units a 1.5 hours lab (A322 UniS, University of Bern, Schanzeneckstrasse 1, Bern).
