master todo list

there are three strands of things to do for the 2020 course edition. Each of them is associated with a separate github repo and a corresponding list of issues. Here is the overall overview.

  1. book
  2. slides
  3. exercises/exams

book

chapter sequences

here is one possibility of rearranging chapters.

  1. https://scpoecon.github.io/ScPoEconometrics/R-intro.html and leave as is. we said programming and loops are optional - good. but let's leave it in the book (don't include in slides).
  2. https://scpoecon.github.io/ScPoEconometrics/sum.html
  3. https://scpoecon.github.io/ScPoEconometrics/linreg.html - i would keep it in sync with the slides and not change the cars dataset here. it's nice and simple IMHO.
  4. https://scpoecon.github.io/ScPoEconometrics/causality.html
  5. https://scpoecon.github.io/ScPoEconometrics/std-errors.html
    • we discussed how much of the existing material from moderndive to do here.
    • i advocated to keep the sequence sampling - bootstrap - hypothesis tests - regression inference as currently in the slides (not really in the book)
    • I agree that it's costly in terms of time, so you should feel free to try and shorten this sequence. maybe hypothesis tests could be shortened.
  6. now they know regression inference. can go back and talk about the multicollinearity app now. (point estimates are correct, but with too much multicollinearity the standard errors explode)
  7. https://scpoecon.github.io/ScPoEconometrics/STAR.html this is really a fully worked case study. it's good to spend a good amount of time on this.
  8. https://scpoecon.github.io/ScPoEconometrics/RDD.html
