This course is directed at graduate students conducting research in the applied micro fields, especially (but not exclusively) labour, development, and public economics. This is not purely a labour economics course: it is a course in empirical and applied econometrics. The tools covered in the course, however, are central to those used in empirical labour economics, as well as other applied microeconomics fields like development and public economics. The focus will be on the identification of casual relationships using regression-based analysis. Empirical examples will be drawn from recent work in labour economics.
