Hypothesis tests and confidence intervals for population variances, chi-squared goodness-of-fit tests, hypothesis tests for independence, simple linear regression model, testing regression parameters, prediction, multiple regression, omitted variable bias, multicollinearity, F-tests, regression with indicator random variables, simultaneous equation models and instrumental variables. Topics vary slightly depending on the quarter. Prerequisites: Econ ECON 102A or equivalent. Recommended: computer experience (course often uses STATA software to run regressions). This is a core requirement for the ECON BA and ECON BS programs. Approved field credit for the ECON Minor program.
