This course develops statistical and empirical research expertise that is useful in a wide range of legal settings. After developing/reviewing some statistical background material, much of the course focuses on multiple regression analysis. The course includes hands-on experience with empirical analysis via computer exercises using a popular statistical package. The skills developed in this class will be enormously helpful in jobs involving policy analysis in government or research institutes, in big-firm litigation involving complex empirical issues, and in investment banking, consulting, or finance. The course is designed to be accessible to students with widely varying backgrounds in statistics or econometrics. Students who desire a more mathematical treatment of the topics may take the one unit "Empirical Analysis: Mathematical Methods" supplement concurrently.
