This is an invitation to participate in a periodic course evaluation for ECON4135.
The evaluation is done on the internet (open from november) and the deadline for giving your answer is Desember 11th. Please note that there are questions concerning exams, so preferably you should not answer this form until after your exam. Your answer will be anonymous.

Econometrics can only be learned by doing - I (TS) have the impression that too little doing (excercises, Stata, Written papers) is done. To push the doing I concider giving you hand in problems in Wednesday lectures - be prepared!
To get Excel data into Stata use the command "infile". It is convenient to first save the Excel sheet in a text file, with variable names in the first row as in Excel. Then replace decimal delimiting commas by periods, if needed. With my textfile in D:\data.txt, the Stata command "insheet using D:\data.txt" works.
Exam questions from years 2003-2007 are available at http://www.oekonomi.uio.no/eksamen/Eksamensoppgaver.html
