This book provides an introduction to the field of microeconometrics through the use of R. The focus is on applying current learning from the field to real world problems. It uses R to both teach the concepts of the field and show the reader how the techniques can be used. It is aimed at the general reader with the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree in economics, statistics or some more technical field. It covers the standard tools of microeconometrics, OLS, instrumental variables, Heckman selection and difference in difference. In addition, it introduces bounds, factor models, mixture models and empirical Bayesian analysis.Key Features:Focuses on the assumptions underlying the algorithms rather than their statistical properties.Presents cutting-edge analysis of factor models and finite mixture models.Uses a hands-on approach to examine the assumptions made by the models and when the models fail to estimate accurately.Utilizes interesting real-world data sets that can be used to analyze important microeconomic problems.Introduces R programming concepts throughout the book.Includes appendices that discuss some of the standard statistical concepts and R programming used in the book.

Over the last 30 years the practice and use of game theory has changed dramatically, yet textbooks continue to present game theory with algebraic formalism and toy models. This book, on the other hand, illustrates game theory concepts using real-world data and analyses problems with real policy implications. The focus is on applying current learning to real world problems by providing an introduction to game theory and econometric analysis based on game theoretic principles using the computer language R.The book covers the standard topics of an introductory game theory course including dominant strategies, Nash equilibrium and Bayes Nash equilibrium. It layers on top of this an approach to statistics and econometrics called Structural Modeling. In this approach, key parameter estimates rely upon game theoretic analysis. The real-world examples used to illustrate these concepts vary in scope and include an analysis of bargaining between hospitals and insurers, equilibrium entry of retail tire stores, bid rigging in timber auctions and contracts in 19th century whaling.This book is aimed at the general reader with the equivalent of a bachelor’s degree in economics, statistics or some more technical field. The book could be used as a text for an upper level undergraduate course or a lower level graduate course in economics or business.
