The Smooth Ongoingof 2019 Spring Graduate Courses by Overseas Experts atBEIHANGSEM
2019Spring Graduate Courses by Overseas Experts are smoothly going on at BeihangSEM since March, 2019. In March, the course of "Applied Econometrics andData Analysis" is successfully given by Prof. Ed Vytlacil. The course hasgot praises from students of Beihang SEM.
Thecourse of "AppliedEconometrics and Data Analysis " by Prof. Ed Vytlacil from Yale University,introduces applied econometrics and data analysis, with emphasis on using R towork with real data. The course will focus on linear regression andinstrumental variables analysis from an applied perspective, with emphasis on:1) Understand the strengths and weaknesses of different methods. 2) Be able tochoose appropriate methods to answer real-world questions. 3) Understand theintuition behind these methods. 4) Be able to apply these methods to analyzereal data with a powerful statistical analysis package (R).The methodologycovered in this course is broadly applicable throughout the social sciences andfinance, and numerous applications will be discussed, though we will focus onsubstantive applications in economics, particularly in the following areas:Finance (asset diversification, CAPM), Education Economics/LaborEconomics (returns to schooling, effects of class size on studentperformance), Family Economics/Labor Economics (Effect of fertility onfemale labor supply), and Development/Agricultural economics (the effect ofinsurance on Chinese farmers).
During the courses, students were listening carefully, and asked questionsactively. During the break, the discussion between professors and audience wereas hot as the weather.
