A major goal is to prepare students to read empirical papers in economics and the other social sciences and to do high quality empirical research in seminars and senior essays. Students will become reasonably proficient in the use of STATA, the leading computer program for statistical analysis in the social sciences. Econ 482 is NOT a prerequisite for this course, but Math 124, 125, and 126 are.
