This course aims at providing an in-depth analysis of various advanced theoretical results in econometrics, including asymptotic distribution theory, instrumental variable methods, panel data analysis, discrete choice modeling, and topics in time series econometrics. Students will apply these techniques and concepts to real life cases and examine the usefulness of various economic and finance models. By engaging in these exercises, students further strengthen their discovery skills.

Remark on the use of Generative AI (GenAI) tools:

• It is crucial to properly attribute all sources, including the ideas derived from GenAI tools (suggested style guide here). Students are highly encouraged to keep a journal of the GenAI conversation. This practice not only protects students from potential infringements of the Rules of Academic Honesty, but also promotes transparency, critical thinking, and the ethical use of GenAI tools.


• See the section below on  further guideline on the use of GenAI tools in the coursework.
