Registration
The class is heavily oversubscribed and many students are on the waitlist. All
students need to sign up in their assigned section in the week of August 31. Students
who do not come to section that week will be automatically dropped from the
class. Waitlisted students will be added as slots become available. Priority
will be given to graduating seniors.

Since the first lecture is on Thursday 8/27, there
will be no section on Wednesday 8/26. We will make up for the lost time later
in the term (date and location T.B.A.).
Text
We will use Introductory Econometrics: A Modern
Approach, by Jeffrey M. Wooldridge.>The most recent edition is the 4th,
but earlier editions are acceptable substitutes. There will be 4 copies on
reserve at Moffitt Library. Reserve call numbers will be posted here when they
are available.
Software
Problem sets will require you to use Stata To
purchase your own copy of the software for your computer, a single-user
one-year license through Berkeley’s GradPlan costs
$49 (Small Stata is sufficient for this course). The
regular Stata costs $179. Do this
as soon as possible as delays occur in delivery at this time of the year. See http://www.stata.com/order/schoollist.html
to purchase (select CA, then UCB, then product code ICGP or SMGPA.The current version
on sale is Stata 11 but any older version that you may have is fine for the
course. Ben will hold two Introduction to Stata sessions, Tuesday 9/8 and Thursday 9/10, both 4-5 pm
in 1535 Tolman Hall. Please come to one (and only
one) of these sessions – being able to use Stata is
crucial in this course!
