Title of the Project: Training ON ADVANCED ECONOMETRIC METHODS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS. 2. Brief Objective and Justification (2 or 3 Sentences): The School is meant for research fellows, young teachers/researchers working in colleges, universities, institutions, and analysts working in different organizations, who are actively engaged in empirical research in economics and finance. 3.

Scope and Justification of the Project: Econometrics - both time series and cross- section- have experienced phenomenal growth in the last 35 years. This began with what G.S.Maddala called the ' three revolutions ' in time series econometrics, namely, Unit Roots, Cointegration and Volatility Models, in the late seventies of the last century. This has been followed by significant developments in the methodologies dealing with the analysis of cross section data. A lot of the very recent growth in econometrics reflects the rapid advances in computing technology. Increased availability of data at micro level is a major advance which has, of late, facilitated growth of panel data models and microeconometrics. Under such an advanced state of this subject, practitioners and researcher are confronted with an overwhelmingly large literature most of which are quite difficult to comprehend from consideration of econometric theory. The application of the methodologies involved also requires formidable computational skills. Thus, appropriate analysis of economic data now requires not only a certain level of knowledge on econometric methods concerning these advanced topics but also competence with standard software packages like EViews, STATA, and

  • Free Trade: What Now? by Jagdish Bhagwati This Is the Text Of
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Columbia University Academic Commons Free Trade: What Now? By Jagdish Bhagwati This is the text of the Keynote Address delivered at the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland, on 25th May 1998, on the occasion of the International Management Symposium at which the 1998 Freedom Prize of the Max Schmidheiny Foundation was awarded. Ever since Adam Smith invented the case for free trade over two centuries ago in The Wealth of Nations, and founded in the same great work the science of Economics as we know it today, international economists have been kept busy defending free trade. A popular children’s story in the United States, by Dr. Seuss, has the refrain “And the cat came back”. The opponents of free trade, ranging from hostile protectionists to the mere skeptics, have kept coming back with ever new objections. The critiques we have had to confront have often come from those who fail to understand the essential insight of Adam Smith: that it pays me to specialize on what I do best compared to you, even though I can do everything better than you do. Economists call this the Law of Comparative Advantage: each nation would profit from noncoercive free trade that would lead to such specialization. When asked by the famous mathematician Ulam: “What is the most counterintuitive result in Economics?”, the Nobel laureate Paul Samuelson chose this Law as his candidate.1 Skeptics within Economics But the most compelling skeptics have come repeatedly from within the discipline of Economics itself.

  • Avinash Dixit Princeton University
    This is a slightly revised version of an article in The American Economist, Spring 1994. It will be published in Passion and Craft: How Economists Work, ed. Michael Szenberg, University of Michigan Press, 1998. MY SYSTEM OF WORK (NOT!) by Avinash Dixit Princeton University Among the signals of approaching senility, few can be clearer than being asked to write an article on one's methods of work. The profession's implied judgment is that one's time is better spent giving helpful tips to younger researchers than doing new work oneself. However, of all the lessons I have learnt during a quarter century of research, the one I have found most valuable is always to work as if one were still twenty-three. From such a young perspective, I find it difficult to give advice to anyone. The reason why I agreed to write this piece will appear later. I hope readers will take it for what it is -- scattered and brash remarks of someone who pretends to have a perpetually juvenile mind, and not the distilled wisdom of a middle-aged has-been. Writing such a piece poses a basic problem at any age. There are no sure-fire rules for doing good research, and no routes that clearly lead to failure. Ask any six economists and you will get six dozen recipes for success. Each of the six will flatly contradict one or more of the others. And all of them may be right -- for some readers and at some times. So you should take all such suggestions with skepticism.

  • Restoring Fun to Game Theory
    Restoring Fun to Game Theory Avinash Dixit Abstract: The author suggests methods for teaching game theory at an introduc- tory level, using interactive games to be played in the classroom or in computer clusters, clips from movies to be screened and discussed, and excerpts from novels and historical books to be read and discussed. JEL codes: A22, C70 Game theory starts with an unfair advantage over most other scientific subjects—it is applicable to numerous interesting and thought-provoking aspects of decision- making in economics, business, politics, social interactions, and indeed to much of everyday life, making it automatically appealing to students. However, too many teachers and textbook authors lose this advantage by treating the subject in such an abstract and formal way that the students’ eyes glaze over. Even the interests of the abstract theorists will be better served if introductory courses are motivated using examples and classroom games that engage the students’ interest and encourage them to go on to more advanced courses. This will create larger audiences for the abstract game theorists; then they can teach students the mathematics and the rigor that are surely important aspects of the subject at the higher levels. Game theory has become a part of the basic framework of economics, along with, or even replacing in many contexts, the traditional supply-demand frame- work in partial and general equilibrium. Therefore economics students should be introduced to game theory right at the beginning of their studies. Teachers of eco- nomics usually introduce game theory by using economics applications; Cournot duopoly is the favorite vehicle.

A PREAMBLE A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people: Mahatma Gandhi 1.1 All peoples, all nations, have their own cultures. What distinguishes nations is not their economic strength – that can be compared on an international measurement of per capita income calibrated through purchasing power parity – or their social development – that too can be estimated through international scales of comparison such as the Human Development Index. These are only hierarchical differences. But in its culture, each nation is unique. That is what makes each nation equal. In a vast land like ours, our subcultures are equally distinguished from one another; our many-splendoured plurality is a blessing that we must learn to nurture. One just cannot compare one way of life with another; there indeed lies the significance of a culture. It is our diversity that makes it essential, that as a nation we pay heed to our cultural values, our cultural expressions, to our heritage and, at the same time, to our future.
