Assignments
5 graded problem sets. Deadlines
on Thursdays at 18:00. Problem sets are published a week before the
deadline. Deadlines are strict - do not email us your solutions.
Problem
sets have equal weight and include both analytical and empirical
problems. You need at least 50% of points to pass the course. Only four problem sets with the highest grades will be considered.
Do ask for help! For example, if you don't know to solve the problem, we TAs will help you get started. Or if you don't quite understand the phrasing of the question, we will clarify it. You can ask questions during the exercise sessions or on Zulip. Overall, it is a good practice to follow Zulip regularly since we might post helpful tips there. Link to Zulip here. Questions by email should be avoided, but can be used if necessary, such as regarding personal matters.
Also, it might be helpful to check out this online Stata material made by last year's TA Jaakko Markkanen.
Plagiarism is
strictly forbidden. Do not share your answers or code. You can discuss
the exercises in small groups, but all answers must be self-written.
