This is an undergraduate level econometrics course. In this course, we will start with a review of probability and statistics that are the basics of econometrics. After studying a linear regression model with one regressor, together with its statistical inferences, we will extend our models so that we can have more than one regressor. Issues that interfere with desirable properties of our estimators, such as errors that have autocorrelation or heterosckedasticity, will then be studied. The last part of this course will be devoted to non-linear models, regression with binary dependent variables, instrumental variable regression, and time series regression.
Economics is the study of the problem of managing rare resources as efficiently as possible. The allocation of resources is determined by the interactions between consumers and firms. It is essential to analyze the results of various economic activities in order to understand consumer behaviors and firm strategies. Therefore, by modeling behaviors of consumers and firms, it is necessary to learn about supply and demand of goods. Economic trading exists when there is a balance between demand and supply of goods, which can be understood by the concept of market equilibrium. Further, based on the concept of social welfare, the study discusses the policies to achieve the desirable resource allocation. Microeconomics provides a theoretical framework for such economic analyses. This course aims to understand how the concepts of microeconomics solve the existing economic issue. Although mathematics is used in this course, the main aim is for intuitive understanding through the use of diagrams. Knowledge of microeconomics opens up new perspectives in other fields such as business administration, politics, and sociology.
Demography is a wide-ranging academic field that examines the relationship between population dynamics, such as births, deaths, and migration, and various aspects of society, culture, and the economy. It is intimately linked with disciplines such as sociology, economics, political science, epidemiology, anthropology, and more. In this class, the focus will be on the field of social demography, which closely aligns with sociology.
Students will be introduced to the key indicators (e.g., life expectancy, total fertility rate), concepts (e.g., cohort), and theories (e.g., demographic transition theory) that define demography. They will also explore significant findings from research within social demography.
To enhance understanding of the materials, the course will include not only lectures but also demographic analysis exercises, exams and compilation of demographic report.
