The primary objective of this course is to provide an advanced treatment of econometric methods for cross section and panel data including linear and non-linear models. Some selected topics are instrumental variable estimation, estimation of system of equations, estimation of panel data models, maximum likelihood estimation, generalised method of moments, discrete response models, censored regression models and estimation of average treatment effects.

Primary objective of this course is to introduce students with the process of economic growth and the long run sources of differences in economic performances across nations. Emphasis will be placed on developing theoretical toolkit in understanding growth mechanics. It is intended that this course will make students learn some of the workhorse models in modern macroeconomics, namely - Solow-Swan model, endogenous growth models, Keynesian and heterodox models, etc.

This course will introduce students to methods of quantitative economic research using primary and secondary data source. The purpose is to provide training for Ph.D. scholars in the department.

This course is the first part of two semester long research project for M.Sc. (Economics) students. The students engage in collaborative research with a faculty guide. The objective is to prepare students in identifying research problems, formulating research questions, analysing them, and writing the final dissertation.

This course is the second (final) part of two semester long research project for M.Sc. (Economics) students. The students engage in collaborative research with a faculty guide. The objective is to prepare students in identifying research problems, formulating research questions, analysing them, and writing the final dissertation.

This research seminar course provides a forum for students to discuss and generate ideas on issues related to a variety of economic problems. Students conduct an in-depth study of a research topic of their choice under the guidance of faculty members. This prepares the students to undertake project work in subsequent semester. Discussion of issues with experts in the field of research is the central component of this course. Attending talk by faculty members, PhD scholars and invited speakers in seminar series is compulsory. The students will be asked to prepare review report of a paper presented in the seminar. They learn to work in discussion groups, debate and problem solve on selected issues. In the research seminar, the students are given an opportunity to integrate their knowledge, skills and practical experience gained in the program.
