Develops advanced applied microeconometric methods through analytical work, coding and the study of published research. Topics include experiments, matching, difference-in-differences, instrumental variables, treatment effects, regression discontinuity, panel data and clustered inference.

Support for EC333 Problems of Applied Econometrics at LSE

Our tutoring for EC333 is designed to make the module feel more manageable. Sessions can focus on clarifying lecture material, rebuilding foundations, working through analytical exercises, coding tasks, research-paper interpretation and exam preparation, and developing a clearer strategy for revision and assessed work. The aim is to help students understand the module deeply enough to apply the material independently, not just memorise model answers.

Common Challenges

Students often struggle with:

  • understanding the assumptions and intuition behind experiments and matching, with particular attention to difference-in-differences
  • choosing the right method when moving between instrumental variables and treatment effects in problem sets, data work or coding tasks
  • interpreting estimates, diagnostics, proofs and output clearly in assessed answers
  • building a clear revision plan when the module starts to feel cumulative
How our tutors help

Our tutors can help by:

  • Reviewing the statistical or econometric intuition behind experiments and matching, with particular attention to difference-in-differences
  • Working through derivations and problem sets involving instrumental variables
  • Applying treatment effects in data work and interpreting the resulting output
  • Building confidence with coding, proofs and exam-style questions
  • Tailoring sessions to the exact parts of EC333 that feel unclear
