The goal of this course is to examine selected topics in various sub-disciplines within economics from an applied perspective. Our goal will be to test theories that the students have been exposed to, in various economics classes. In the first part of the course, the students will have an opportunity to learn a number of econometric techniques that are necessary to research topics in economics. Throughout that time I will teach using selective socioeconomic applications. In the second part students will engage in econometric analysis in the areas of international trade and finance, labor economics, energy economics, public finance, economic development, macroeconomics etc. Early in the course, I will provide suggestions of selected topics that can help students to collect the necessary data.
