Introduction to Microeconometrics (Vorlesung/Übung)

Dozent/in: Boris Hirsch

Termin:
 wöchentlich | Donnerstag | 10:15 - 11:45 | 07.04.2025 - 11.07.2025 | C 3.121 Seminarraum | Start 1. lecture week
14-täglich | Dienstag | 16:15 - 17:45 | 14.04.2025 - 11.07.2025 | C 3.121 Seminarraum | Start 2. lecture week

Inhalt: In many applications, OLS regression suffers from bias and fails to provide unbiased estimates of causal effects. Building on the topics covered in the Introduction to Econometrics, this course discusses methods to deal with omitted variable, simultaneous causality, and error-in-variable bias. It further introduces regression models for binary outcomes and gives an introduction to causal inference in microeconometrics, that is the econometric analysis of individual-level data. Contents: 1. About this course 2. Fixed-effects regression on panel data 3. Instrumental variables regression 4. Regression models for binary outcomes 5. Causal inference in microeconometrics

Volkswirtschaftliches Forschungskolloquium (Kolloquium)

Dozent/in: Luise Görges, Boris Hirsch, Mario Mechtel, Christian Pfeifer, Joachim Wagner, Christoph Wegener, Thomas Wein

Termin:
 wöchentlich | Dienstag | 12:15 - 13:45 | 07.04.2025 - 11.07.2025 | C 6.320 Seminarraum

Inhalt: Vorträge zu laufenden Forschungsarbeiten von Promovierenden und Wissenschaftlern des Instituts sowie von auswärtigen Gästen. Die Referenten sollten möglichst min. eine Woche vor dem Vortrag ihr Papier an Boris Hirsch schicken, der es dann für alle Teilnehmer zugänglich in MyStudy hochladen wird. Hierdurch sollen tiefergehende Diskussionen der Papiere ermöglicht werden. * im Seminarplan: Externe Gäste, mit denen wir vermutlich am Dienstagabend Essen gehen werden, wozu alle Interessierten gerne mitkommen können (Info bei Boris Hirsch).

Inhalt: In each academic year, you can register your bachelor thesis at three different dates – mid of April (group 1), end of May (group 2), or end of November (group 3) – and attend the accompanying mandatory bachelor thesis colloquium where you receive feedback about your planned thesis and your progress while working on it. The bachelor thesis colloquium is offered separately for each of the three groups of students and has three sessions. Before attending the first session of the bachelor thesis colloquium you should already have a general idea about the topic of your thesis, prospective supervisors, and the type of thesis you want to write. For further details on the bachelor thesis and the accompanying bachelor thesis colloquium, refer to the pdf document provided at: https://www.leuphana.de/en/institutes/ivwl/bachelor-theses.html To pass the colloquium, you have to attend these sessions and provide and present an outline of your thesis (in the second session) and present the preliminary state of your thesis while working on it (in the third session).
