2. The extensions (GLS and IV)

Teaching methods
Each lecture presents both theoretical and applied aspects of the econometric method, by using the PC in class in order to show main outcomes of the regression analysis. Then is very important to attend the lectures.
Assessment methods
The final examination for students attending the lectures is in three parts: a written text on the basis of the relevant parts of the textbook. In addition, an empirical study and some tests are also due. Students not attending the lectures are requested to make a single written exam on the basis of the end-chapter exercises of the textbook. Grades of assessment: <18: not sufficient; 18-23: sufficient; 24-27: good; 28-30: very good; 30 e lode:outstanding.
