Study Notes
Advanced Econometric Methods - STA 773 Course Outline
-
Course Outline: The course covers various econometric methods, including k-variable linear equations, maximum likelihood, instrumental variables, univariate time series modeling, multiple equation models, generalized method of moments, panel data, discrete/limited dependent variable models, and Bayesian regression.
-
K-Variable Linear Equation: This single-equation model specifies a regressand as a linear combination of multiple regressors (independent variables). The model parameters are estimated by minimizing the residual sum of squares. The key characteristics and properties of the model are explained.
-
Model Specification and Description: The k-variable linear equation is presented in matrix notation (y = Xβ + u), where y is the regressand, X is a matrix of regressors, β is a vector of coefficients, and u is a vector of errors. The goal is to estimate the coefficients β. Partial derivatives of residuals lead to the normal equations, crucial for estimation.
-
Decomposition of the Sum of Squares: The total variation in the dependent variable (y) is decomposed into explained variation (by the regressors) and unexplained variation (error). This decomposition is mathematically represented and explained. The total sum of squares (TSS), explained sum of squares (ESS), and residual sum of squares (RSS) are defined and related. Key formulas are presented.
-
Equation in Deviation Form: An alternative approach to decomposing the sum of squares is using deviations from sample means. This approach is explained and expressed mathematically.
-
Estimation of σ²: An unbiased estimate of the error variance (σ²) is calculated using the residual sum of squares from the fitted regression model. The relevant formulas are presented.
-
Gauss-Markov Theorem: The least squares estimator is shown to be the Best Linear Unbiased Estimator (BLUE) under specific assumptions. These assumptions detail the nature of the regressors (X) and the error terms (u), including non-stochasticity, full column rank, constant error variance (homoscedasticity), and zero covariances (no serial correlation).
-
Inference in the k-Variable Equation: Statistical inferences on the model parameters (β) depend on the assumptions already discussed. The discussion emphasizes the importance of non-stochastic regressors, full column rank of X, and the expected value and variance of the error terms.
-
Hypothesis Tests of βs: Methods for testing hypotheses related to the model parameters (β) are outlined. This includes testing if individual coefficients are zero, if coefficients are equal, and specific linear combinations of coefficients are zero. A table detailing these is offered. A methodology to test these is described through equations and the rationale for doing so.
