What I wished they taught me about Econometrics - An Introduction

1 Intro part2 population model type of data

Explore different data types in econometrics: cross-sectional, time series, and panel data. Learn how each type influences the population model's language and structure. Discover how unique identifying elements like individuals or time impact the model. Understand why correctly identifying data type facilitates better estimation methods. Visualize these concepts with Excel examples.

2 Intro part1 population model

In 'Econometrics: A Gentle Introduction', the tutor initiates with jargon clarification, focusing on population models. They explain that economic models are functions with multiple inputs (x's), represented as Y = β0 + β1X1 + β2X2 + ... + ε. Using wages and education levels as an example, they demonstrate converting a generic model into an econometric one: Wages = b0 + b1Education + b2IT knowledge. Key takeaways include distinguishing between dependent (Y) and independent (X) variables, understanding beta coefficients' significance, and recognizing the difference between theoretical and estimated models.
