Course Description:
This topics course will be focused on identification analysis. We
will briefly review large sample results, estimation theory, and
identification
in linear simultaneous equations models. Then we will examine
identification
of causal effects in both experimental and nonexperimental settings,
nonparametric identification of structural models, including auction
models,
and identification of social interaction models. Course
requirements will include homework assignments and a short paper.
