1 SDS 385 2: APPLIED REGRESSION, UNIQUE NO and PA397C: ADVANCED EMPIRICAL METHODS FOR POLICY ANALYSIS, APPLIED REGRESSION, UNIQUE NO Spring 2017 Instructor: Office: Office Hours: Dr. Jay Zarnikau Classroom: SRH Teaching Assistant: (When I reply, my consulting firm s domain name might be on the address, since I often forward UT s to my consulting firm s server.) On Campus: SRH 3.273, Visiting Faculty Office on 2nd floor of Sid Richardson Hall (LBJ School of Public Affairs) near the Computer Lab. Sometimes, I may hold office hours in my office in the Economics Dept. Each class day, I ll announce my office hours for the coming week. Additionally, I ll often be in my office late on Monday afternoons before class. Feel free to send me an to schedule an appointment. Typically, I will hold office hours in the LBJ School s Computer Lab. Su Chen <s.chen@utexas.edu> Description This class will explore how various regression modeling techniques can be used to study practical problems and issues in the social sciences, public policy, and other fields. The course is intended to be interdisciplinary, and the content will be tailored to some degree to match the interests of the students. For students in the LBJ School of Public Affairs, this class builds upon the basic statistical concepts presented in Introduction to Empirical Methods (IEM) and qualifies as the second course in the core sequence in quantitative analysis. The focus of this class is on statistical modeling concepts and how to analyze different problems and data sets. Little attention will be devoted to formal proofs and derivations. The content of this course will be very similar to an introductory Econometrics course, but we will use less mathematics than is used in the Economics Department. Course topics will include: A review of basic statistical concepts Dealing with uncertainty in research and policy problems The thought process behind setting up a statistical model Software (Excel and SAS will be used)
2 Approaches to estimating relationships (e.g., least squares, likelihood estimation, MCMC simulation) Interpretation of regression statistics Hypothesis testing (from frequentist and Bayesian perspectives) Multivariate regression Variable selection, specification testing, and functional forms How to identify and address modeling problems (e.g., autocorrelation, multicollinearity, heteroskedasticity, omitted variables bias, misspecification, endogeneity bias) Dummy variables and qualitative variables Logit, Tobit, and Poisson models Basic index theory Time series approaches Spatial regression Forecasting techniques An introduction to Bayesian estimation Causality A brief introduction to more advanced approaches, including non-parametric regression and simulation techniques. Objectives Upon completing this course, you should be able to read, understand, critically interpret, and identify the strengths and limitations of many statistical studies that you encounter in policy reports and in the literature of the social sciences. You should also be able competently analyze data sets using common statistical techniques. Prerequisites You should already be familiar with basic statistical concepts (including Ordinary Least Squares regression) and be able to read and understand simple mathematical notation. We will avoid the use of linear algebra. You will not need any prior background with SAS. If you are enrolled in the LBJ School of Public Affairs, IEM is a prerequisite. Textbooks and References There are no required textbooks for this class. I think we ve reached a point where there are so many good references to these topics available on the Internet, there is no need to spend a lot of money on textbooks. Nonetheless, you might find it useful to acquire your own personal copy of some of the references described below. Many of the lectures will be based on the following textbook:
3 Damodar Gujarati, Basic Econometrics. Any edition is fine. Again, this textbook is not required, but you might find it helpful. A copy is on Reserves in the PCL (the university s main library). There also appears to be a lot of pdf s of the textbook available on the Internet. By the 4 th lecture, we will start examining problems that are too difficult to study with a spreadsheet. At that point, we will start using SAS software. There are a number of good tutorials to SAS floating around, and I ll provide you with links. Our discussion of logit models will follow: Allison, Paul, Logistic Regression Using the SAS System, John Wiley & Sons. A copy of this book will be placed on Reserves in the PCL and some chapters will be posted on Canvas. Software One objective of this course is to make you feel comfortable with using statistical software programs. We will start off by analyzing data sets in Excel. You should already have some experience with Excel through prior coursework or work experience. Most of the exercises with Excel will require the Data Analysis Add-In. If you will be using your own computer, ensure that you can add-in this software feature, if you don t already have it on your computer. SAS is installed on most computers in the Public Affairs Computer Lab. If you plan to use your own computer to work on class assignments, you may wish to acquire SAS from the UT Computation Center. Make sure your CD has the ETS (Economic Time Series) module. SAS can also be accessed remotely one of the Department of Statistics servers, via UT s computer networks. Finally, if you plan to use your own personal computer to review lecture notes and supplemental readings, you will need software capable of reading Microsoft PowerPoint and Adobe Acrobat files. Lecture Notes My lecture notes will be posted on Canvas. My lectures will loosely follow the content of the Gujarati textbook and the other reference materials noted above. However, I will try to explain the material a bit differently, provide additional examples that are less economics-focused, and provide some different perspectives on some of the topics. I will also provide additional readings, example Excel spreadsheets and SAS programs on Canvas. Homework Problems Typically, I ll provide you with a data set and ask you to perform some analysis using Excel or SAS. I might ask you to describe how you would organize an empirical study to examine some issue or hypothesis of current importance. Generally, homework assignments are due one week after they are assigned and discussed in class. Assignments will be posted on Canvas. The simpler lesson assignments will be graded by the Teaching Assistant (if I have one). I ll grade the Mid-Term, Final Projects, and any lesson assignments that involve more creativity and judgment.
4 Final Project I will help to establish teams to work together on a final project and will meet with each team to discuss appropriate topics. Appropriate topics might include some data analysis in a field in which you are interested or critiquing a recent policy report. You are free to work on an individual project, rather than a group project. Grading Policies Homework assignments count for 30% of your final grade. The mid-term and final projects each count for 35%. Your final aggregate homework grade will be the average of the scores on the top n-1 of the n total homework assignments. For example, if I end up assigning 6 homework problem sets, your grade will be based on your best 5 grades i.e., I ll throw out the lowest grade. Generally, I do not accept late homework solutions, since we go over the solutions in class on the day in which they are due. I consider a 93.3% or higher to be an A, a 90.0% to 93.3% to be an A-, a 86.7% to 90.0% to be a B+, a 83.3% to 86.7% to be a B, etc. Students who take an incomplete in this course will receive a reduction in their grade of at least 7 points if/when they make up the incomplete. I reserve the right to adjust anyone s grade upward based on class participation. Alternative Path for Grading and Assignments If you already have a strong background in statistics, econometrics, or operations research and are engaged in a major research project involving statistical analysis, I may be willing to let you substitute a much bigger term project for some of the homework assignments. No or Facebook while in Class, Please. Feel free to bring a laptop or tablet to class. But please keep your attention on the class material while you in class! Tentative Agenda The content described below may change. In particular, we may explore some current issues in newspapers, journals, or policy reports in lieu of some of the topics identified here. Also, I may make some changes depending upon the interests of the class. Class 1 Jan. 23 Introduction and Review of Approaches to Quantitative Analysis Preview of the course material.
