Quantitative Methods: Econometrics B
Welcome to ’Metrics B!
This is not the official module website. The EC910 (or EC987, 2024/25) Moodle-page is the primary source of communication and resources for this module. All material available on this website can be found there.
I designed this website as a means of testing out the Quarto package, developed by RStudio.1 This was partly as a way to develop my own skills and better incorporate the R language into the module. However, there are also accessibility benefits to this approach. Mathematical notation published in pdf’s using LaTeX cannot be read by a screen reader, while LaTeX published in html can. In addition, the website has built-in dark-mode option (see top-right toggle). For those who prefer pdf (for printing and notetaking), each page contains a unique downloadable link.
Please let me know if you find any mistakes in my notes or code. In addition, I welcome suggestions on how to improve the R (or Stata) code provided in this module. I will endeavor to do my best to acknowledge the many people who have contributed to this material and my wider knowledge of this subject.
Acknowledgements
I am building off material developed by Prof. Wiji Arulampalam, who taught this module from 2011-2024. Since arriving at Warwick in 2021, I have learned so much from Prof. Arulampalam’s expertise and years of research and professional experience. More importantly, I have so enjoyed working alongside her as both colleague and friend. I wish her well in her retirement.
I have also borrowed from material developed by Prof. Vadim Marmer (Vancouver School of Economics, UBC) who taught the Econometrics module I attended during my own Master’s degree. I was the teaching assistant for this module from 2017-2019 and developed some additional notes found here. I am hugely indebted to Prof. Marmer, whose teaching and professional guidance have been foundational to my academic career.
I hope you enjoy this module!
