Econometrics Textbook
Econometrics is the study of estimation and inference for economic models using economic data. Econometric theory concerns the study and development of tools and methods for applied econometric applications. Applied econometrics concerns the application of these tools to economic data.

Leamer on the State of Econometrics
Ed Leamer of UCLA talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about the state of econometrics. He discusses his 1983 article, "Let's Take the 'Con' Out of Econometrics" and the recent interest in natural experiments as a way to improve empirical work. He also discusses the problems with the "fishing expedition" approach to empirical work. The conversation closes with Leamer's views on macroeconomics, housing, and the business cycle and how they have been received by the profession.
Introduction to Econometrics: EC220
For year 2 undergraduates, presumes some previous introductory study of statistics and calculus. Materials include PPT slides and video recording of lectures. The course follows the author's textbook and is relatively unmathematical in its approach. Part of the TRUE Econometrics site featuring Lectures and Courses.
Introduction to Econometrics: Econmet [U13783]
20 credit unit for year 2 economics undergraduates. Presumes some previous introductory study of statistics. Stresses proper application of methods rather than formal derivations; aims to help students read applied econometrics and attempt their own.
Applied Statistics and Econometrics: ASE2009/10
Delivered to students on Graduate Certificate & Diploma courses. Contains Statistics and Econometrics material that maps well against undergraduate learning objectives. Includes exercises.
Applied Econometrics
A practice-oriented final level undergraduate course (delivered 2005/06), covering: the methodology of applied econometrics; interactive econometrics software; model design and specification; estimation techniques; diagnostic and specification testing; structural stability; model evaluation; forecasting.
Econometrics
Delivered to students on an Economics MSc course. Contains material that maps well against learning objectives for undergraduates electing to study econometrics beyond the core requirements of their course. Includes exercises.
What is econometrics for? - Introductory Handout
This short handout contributes to the motivation/introduction of an econometrics module. It takes students through the key features of a published example of applied econometrics.
Teaching undergraduate econometrics
PPT slides plus video recording of a 40-minute presentation on the challenge of teaching sophisticated econometrics concepts non-mathematically in a one year undergraduate course. (Keynote speech at the 2007 DEE Conference.)
EC220 Introduction to Econometrics
PPT slide shows to accompany a year 2 lecture course, many topics also have video recording of a lecture presentation.
Econometrics in Action - Forecasting Market Diffusion
A short PPT slide show, sketching how the modelling and forecasting of market penetration can be approached econometrically.

14.382 Econometrics I (MIT)
This course focuses on the specification and estimation of the linear regression model. The course departs from the standard Gauss-Markov assumptions to include heteroskedasticity, serial correlation, and errors in variables. Advanced topics include generalized least squares, instrumental variables, nonlinear regression, and limited dependent variable models. Economic applications are discussed throughout the course.
14.32 Econometrics (MIT)
Introduction to econometric models and techniques, simultaneous equations, program evaluation, emphasizing regression. Advanced topics include instrumental variables, panel data methods, measurement error, and limited dependent variable models. May not count toward HASS requirement.
Basic Math - Number Patterns
Studying number patterns is important for two reasons. First, they help one better understand the concepts of arithmetic and provide a basis for understanding the concepts of more complex mathematics (algebra, trigonometry, calculus). Second, pattern recognition is a useful problem-solving skill, both in mathematics and in real-world situations. Patterns involving odd and even numbers are investigated. Patterns in multiples of certain numbers lead to an understanding of divisibility rules. Seque
Eye dilation
The iris is the colored part of the eye. The pupil is the dark circle in the middle of the iris. The iris causes the pupil to expand or contract depending on the amount of light in a given area. Once light passes through the pupil, a structure called the lens that is directly behind the pupil focuses the light at the back of the eye. The optic nerve, located at the back of the eye, takes the focused message and relays it to the brain where it is processed into an image.
Newbie Lesson S4 #26 - Japanese Self-Introductions: Make a Great First Impression
As you know, you only get one chance to make a great first impression. When you’re in Japan, you’ll need to quickly and confidently tell people who you are, where you’re from, and what you enjoy doing. These three simple facts about yourself are enough to form lasting friendships. Sentences as simple as, “My name [...]
High-Frequency Trading: Menger vs. Walras While Carl Menger and Léon Walras simultaneously discovered the principle of marginal utility, their ideas about the nature of market prices are very different. Walras was more interested in the final equilibrium prices arrived at by traders than the process by which these prices were formed. Therefore, he dramatically simplified the pricing process by imagining it as if it were govern
