Current Teaching

  • Fall 2021
    Econometrics II (Applied Econometrics), MSc
    Tehran Institute for Advanced Studies (TeIAS)

    The purpose of this course is to expose students to econometric techniques frequently used in applied microeconomic research. One way to think about the course is that it will introduce you to the tools in the toolbox. The course will not go into great depth in regard to any particular applied econometric method, but will instead aim to provide you with enough knowledge about each one to know when, and when not, to use it in your empirical research. With an emphasis on causal inference and application, this course will broaden students’ research design skills with new/extended coverage of econometric methods like regression discontinuity design, instrumental variables, panel methods, difference in difference model, selection models, and error clustering techniques, among other topics.
