ECON 4660 - Statistical Tools for Applied Economics Research

This course extends traditional econometrics by introducing modern multivariate statistical tools via real-world applications. Over the course of the semester, students will learn how to use computing software to address issues of large data, non-experimental methods, exploratory data analysis, and visualization. This course is meant as a preparation for project work to be carried out in ECON 4670 and the specific methods and tolls covered will vary to suit those projects.
