Econometric Methods II - Fall 2021
​
Causal Identification in Linear Econometric Models​​
For these courses, I used some training in innovative teaching techniques I received from Leslie Cook and Aaron Nydam at Teton Science Schools together with Erik Sterner at the University of Gothenburg. These techniques stress student centered learning involving flipped classrooms, peer-peer working and dynamic assessments.It was quite successful: an anonymous survey after the course in 2021 found 2/3rd of the class would highly or very highly recommend the course. I have continued to receive similar encouragement from students over the years.
