About the Course

The goal of this MOOC is to show that econometric methods are often needed to answer questions. A question comes first, then data are to be collected, and then finally the model or method comes in. Depending on the data, however, it can happen that methods need to be adapted. For example, where we first look at two variables, later we may need to look at three or more. Or, when data are missing, what then do we do? And, if the data are counts, like the number of newspaper articles citing someone, then matters may change too. But these modifications always come last, and are considered only when relevant. An important motivation for me to make this MOOC is to emphasize that econometric models and methods can also be applied to more unconventional settings, which are typically settings where the practitioner has to collect his or her own data first. Such collection can be done by carefully combining existing databases, but also by holding surveys or running experiments. A byproduct of having to collect your own data is that this helps to choose amongst the potential methods and techniques that are around. If you are searching for a MOOC on econometrics that treats (mathematical and statistical) methods of econometrics and their applications, you may be interested in the Coursera course “Econometrics: Methods and Applications” that is also from Erasmus University Rotterdam....

Great intro to the fundamental concepts in econometrics. It does get technical though.

Good content,

Unfortunately, the course has a terrible interface (seems broken) where you don't have acess to the side menue where you can see all the weeks and move through the videos. The only way to go back and forwards through the materia is clicking the previous and next arrows. This makes the course somewhat hard to use for review adn interview prep.

This course didn't make econometrics enjoyable at all. Even though the questions were interesting and raising curiosity, the explanations were extremely difficult to understand especially for beginner. There are so many formulas and calculations that appeared without a strong clarification.

I think this course should be for A level or high school students...VERY very basic.
