Course Goal / Objective
The aim of this course is to bring the knowledge of asymptotic properties of some estimators used frequently in econometrics.
Course Content
In this lesson, asypmtotic properties of estimators used in econometrics will be evaluated. Firstly, OLS estimator will be investigated for this purpose. Secondly, with the help of necessary limit theorems for asyptotic theory, asymptotic propoerties of OLS and GMM will be evaluated.
Course Precondition
None
