Examples of Course Improvements

Over the last 10 years, I have constantly re-organized the PhD Econometric Theory I course to reflect changes in the econometrics field over time. I have removed some topics in favor of topics which have emerged as important in the field, and I have adopted new software programs (I am now using STATA) to reflect the programs which are most used by empirical economists worldwide. Along with colleagues, I revised the major topics covered in Econometric Theory II (and prepared notes for those materials), to include the broad approaches used in identifying estimators for population parameters.

Development of New Courses

I have introduced three new undergraduate courses to the Economics Department’s curriculum: Law and Economics, Health Economics, and Intermediate Econometrics. The Law and Economics course is attractive to students thinking of attending law school. It introduces students to Tort, Contract, and Property laws in addition to reviewing economic analyses of those areas of common law. The Health Economics course introduces students to the basic issues which arise in the context of United States health care markets. A primary focus is health insurance, since it is important to receipt of health care in the United States. This course is especially important because the health care sector will soon represent one-fifth of the overall U.S. economy.

The Intermediate Econometrics course (ECON435) introduces students to topics not covered in ECON335 (such as endogenous variables, panel data, and limited and qualitative dependent variable econometric models) and it introduces students to the STATA software language. At the graduate level, I developed a one-credit PhD econometrics module (ECON736A) which focuses on limited and qualitative dependent variables.
