Schedule
Please refer to this calendar:
QED PhD Method Review Calendar. This calendar will be updated with details as we go along.
Reference Material
Detailed lecture slides and quizes will be made available. Students will get them on paper and as a PDF.
No single reference can cover the math and statistics that the PhD program presumes. Within each area everyone has their favorite, and you should refer to several sources.
- Here are three references used for the development of the course:
- Mathematical Methods and Models for Economists by Angel de la Fuente. Available from Chapters/Indigo.
- Numerical Methods in Economics, by Kenneth L. Judd . Available from:
Chapters/Indigo.
- Estimation and Inference in Econometrics, by Russell Davidson and James MacKinnon.
- Recommended Software
- As with books, no one package or language suits all your needs. For numerical mathematics you are expected to try out the free package/language Ox.
Download it here (the free version is called Ox Console).
