R Econometrics

Purpose

This skill helps economists run rigorous econometric analyses in R, including Instrumental Variables (IV), Difference-in-Differences (DiD), and Regression Discontinuity Design (RDD). It generates publication-ready code with proper diagnostics and robust standard errors.

When to Use

• Running causal inference analyses
• Estimating treatment effects with panel data
• Creating publication-ready regression tables
• Implementing modern econometric methods (two-way fixed effects, event studies)
