ECON 104: Data Science for Economists
Course Notes and Discussion Materials
Welcome to the course notes for ECON 104. I update these weekly to bridge the gap between the textbook, lecture notes, and exam problems.
Textbook
I follow the fifth edition of Principles of Econometrics by R. Carter Hill, William E. Griffiths, and Guay C. Lim (HGL). I reference their figures, pages, and examples when helpful.
Slides
Per-topic decks are linked at the bottom of each chapter page. The links below are merged chapter bundles, one PDF concatenating every topic deck for that chapter.
| HGL Chapter | Topic | Bundle |
|---|---|---|
| 8 | Heteroskedasticity | |
| 9 | Time-Series Data | |
| 10 | Endogeneity and IV | |
| 11 | Simultaneous Equations | |
| 15 | Panel Data | |
| 16 | Qualitative and Limited DV |
