New PhD course in Panel and Pooled data Analysis!
The next course in the series of short courses in quantitative methods that the CORE research group organises will cover various questions and specification issues in multivariate analysis of pooled and panel data.
Main content
The course will be held by Prof. Dr. Vera Troeger and it is designed for students who already have training in basic statistics.
The course deals with different problems arising in panel data analysis when multiple violations of the basic regression assumptions occur because of the nested structure of the data. It covers the basic Gauss-Markov assumptions of OLS regression analysis, violations, and suitable solutions to such misspecifications. Participants will learn how to deal with different types of heteroskedasticity, spatial correlation, serial correlation and dynamics. In addition, this course deals with specification problems such as complex error structures, different kinds of heterogeneity (e.g. unit and slope), dynamic specification issues, missing data, spatial heterogeneity and dependency.
The course combines a theoretical with practical analysis using STATA. Students are encouraged to bring their own data sets and present their own research projects.
The course will be held in Bergen and is also open for postdocs.
