Section syllabus Econ 141: Econometric Analysis - 101 / 102 Section

U.C. Berkeley Spring 2014

General information GSI: Byoungchan Lee Email: bc1105@berkeley.edu In the sections, we will (i) go over answers to problems from the chapters covered in class, (ii) explain how to use STATA and Excel, as well as (iii) discuss empirical examples from the textbook.

Time and Location There are 2 sections:

101. M 4:10pm - 5:15pm, in 3 Evans 102. W 4:10pm – 5:15pm, in 247 Dwinelle

Note that the Wednesday sections start on Wednesday January 22nd 2014 before the first lecture. Both sections will end at 5:15pm to give you sufficient break between sections and lectures. There are no lectures and sections on Monday 2/17 (President’s Day), Wednesday 3/19 (Cancelled), Monday 3/24 (Spring recess), Wednesday 3/26 (Spring recess), and Monday 3/31 (Cancelled). There may be a big section for both 101 and 102 students around 2/17 or a make-up section only for 101 students.

Office hours and Email policy Office hours: Tu 10-11 and Th 1-2 in 640 EVANS And if both of the office hours are not suitable for you, then you can request an appointment with me. Or we can talk about it before or after our sections and lectures. When you have a question or suggestion, you can send me an email. I recommend that you add [Econ 141] in front of the title of your email to help me notify that it’s from a student. It may take up to 2 or 3 days to respond. If your question needs a LONG answer, then I’ll not answer in email. This is mainly because to type all the answers, especially equations, takes a lot of time, and hence this is not efficient. In this case, you can ask it in, before or after sections and lectures.
