This course aims to give a deeper insight
into microeconometrics methods, such
as those techniques applied in the analysis
of cross sectional or panel data. In
addition, the course deals with both generalized
linear models, which are extensions
to linear models applied to cross
sectional data, and the analysis of panel
data models. A good knowledge of basic
econometrics, matrix algebra, statistical
inference and the English language is
required.

- Multinomial models.
- Tobit models and survival models.
- Mixture models and models for count
data.
