Course Description
The course accentuates primary data collection via surveys and experimental design. Unlike traditional econometrics courses that rely on secondary data, students will develop and execute binary-response surveys, conduct straightforward randomized experiments, and acquire comprehensive skills in sampling, coding, and estimation. The key models discussed include the linear probability model, logit, probit, and fundamental discrete choice models. Practical laboratory sessions are designed to equip students with essential syntax skills for analyzing real-world data. An early introduction to the conceptual distinction between binary and Likert scale formats is provided to establish foundational understanding. The practical emphasis is on binary and experimental survey methodologies.
