Summary

The aim of this subject is to provide economists sufficient knowledge of the most updated topics in microeconometrics so that they can choose the most appropriate estimators as well as exploit both the databases and economic models. The program is designed to respond to the needs of researchers and practitioners when working with real data, where an important dimension in the unit of analysis is the individual. This requires the use of micro data and the use of advanced techniques in (micro) econometrics. The practical content of this course has two objectives: on the one hand, the knowledge and management of the statistic-econometric package STATA; on the other hand, and in each of the issues, being able to solve practical cases that require the use of the various estimators explained in the theoretical part of the program. The program covers panel data, discrete choice, censoring, count data, duration analysis and other advanced topics.
