This course is organized around a series of lectures, tutorials and computer workshops. We first review the microeconomics of consumption and investment in health choices. This helps to motivate the estimation methods frequently encountered in health econometrics. We then study (at the level of Cameron and Trivedi's Microeconometrics, or Goldberger's A Course in Econometrics) several topics including heteroscedasticity, measurement error, instrumental variables estimation and linear models for panel data. We also study econometric methods to estimate causal effects including natural experiments and field experiments. There are problem sets and computer assignments that are discussed in the tutorials.
