Four CARD graduate students, DongGyu Yi, Mohammad Hoque, Hocheol Jeon, and Jimena Gonzalez-Ramirez, recently attended the ESTIMATE (Early Summer Tutorial In Modern Applied Tools of Econometrics) conference at Michigan State University.

The yearly conference provides access to econometrics training to students that would normally only be available to students at Michigan State. Participants in the program learn econometric techniques and methods that they can apply to their own graduate research. The program, which was held this June, covered topics from linear and non-linear panel data models to regression with time series data and estimating treatment effects.
