Statistical methods are developed for classic linear and non-linear regression analysis. Econometric tools such as instrumental variables, regression discontinuity, and difference-in-differences are emphasized for causal identification. Extensions are made to new topics such as simulation-based methods including bootstrap, nonparametric and semiparametricestimators, and quantileregression methods.
