Description

Session Goal

The goal of the session was to develop advanced econometric questions suitable for graduate and post-graduate level studies, with a focus on binary outcome models and nested logit models.

Key Activities

  • Question Development: Created a series of question ideas inspired by econometric exercises, focusing on binary outcome models such as probit and logit. These questions are designed to challenge graduate-level students and encourage a deeper understanding of econometric concepts.
  • Advanced Question Outline: Outlined advanced questions aimed at post-graduate or PhD students, focusing on complex calculations and theoretical proofs, including likelihood ratio tests and maximum likelihood estimation.
  • Nested Logit Model Analysis: Reviewed and corrected probability computations and elasticity calculations for transportation alternatives using a nested logit model. Updated Python code to derive cross-price elasticities and choice probabilities.

Achievements

  • Developed a comprehensive set of advanced econometric questions for educational purposes.
  • Successfully reviewed and improved the nested logit model analysis, ensuring accurate probability and elasticity calculations.

Pending Tasks

  • Further refinement of questions to ensure clarity and alignment with educational objectives.
  • Validation of Python code implementations for accuracy and efficiency.
