Description This unit provides an introduction to modern computationally intensive estimation methodology, its implementation and application for the estimation of econometric models. A key component of the unit will be the instruction in a programming language, and its use to implement computational econometric methods. The computational methods of estimation include Bayesian sampling scheme based approaches and other iterative algorithms for estimation of parameters in complex econometric models.
