Teaching Graduate (and Undergraduate) Econometrics: Some Sensible Shifts to Improve Efficiency, Effectiveness, and Usefulness
Econometrics Pub Date : 2020-09-07 , DOI: 10.3390/econometrics8030036
Jeremy Arkes

Building on arguments by Joshua Angrist and Jörn-Steffen Pischke arguments for how the teaching of undergraduate econometrics could become more effective, I propose a redesign of graduate econometrics that would better serve most students and help make the field of economics more relevant. The primary basis for the redesign is that the conventional methods do not adequately prepare students to recognize biases and to properly interpret significance, insignificance, and p-values; and there is an ethical problem in searching for significance and other matters. Based on these premises, I recommend that some of Angrist and Pischke’s recommendations be adopted for graduate econometrics. In addition, I recommend further shifts in emphasis, new pedagogy, and adding important components (e.g., on interpretations and simple ethical lessons) that are largely ignored in current textbooks. An obvious implication of these recommended changes is a confirmation of most of Angrist and Pischke’s recommendations for undergraduate econometrics, as well as further reductions in complexity.

教授研究生(和本科生)计量经济学:提高效率,有效性和实用性的一些合理转变

在约书亚·安格里斯特(Joshua Angrist)和约恩·史蒂芬·皮施克(Jörn-SteffenPischke)关于如何提高本科计量经济学教学论据的论点的基础上,我建议重新设计研究生计量经济学,以更好地服务于大多数学生,并帮助使经济学领域更加相关。重新设计的主要依据是,常规方法无法使学生充分地准备认识偏见并正确解释重要性,无意义和p值。在寻求意义和其他问题上存在道德问题。基于这些前提,我建议对研究生计量经济学采用Angrist和Pischke的一些建议。此外,我建议您在重点,新的教学法以及增加重要的组成部分(例如,有关解释和简单的道德课程的内容),在当前的教科书中已被忽略。这些建议更改的一个明显含义是证实了Angrist和Pischke对大学计量经济学的大多数建议,并进一步降低了复杂性。
