Econometrics and Statistics Non Experimental (i. i. d) Data sample selection (self-selection) endogeneity, instrumental variables Misspecified Models : diagnostics/ model choice Structural Modelling causal relationships : economic theory and insight Identification : Structural <==> Reduced Form moment conditions Multivariate Time-series Analysis VAR with Non-stationary data Cointegration CVAR 11 November 2007 6
Three Examples 1. Modelling wages a. Instrumental Variable regression b. Heckman 2. Demand Supply 3. Cointegration (modelling with non-stationary timeseries) 11 November 2007 7
Modelling Wages I : returns to schooling Log(income) = b 1 + b 2 schooling + b 3 age + b 4 tenure +…+ e Expected income determines length of schooling People with high academic ability earn more and will go to school longer (pay-offs for them are higher) Inappropriate to attribute to schooling only.
