Lecturing
PhD Lecturing: The Bayesian approach to poverty measurement (2022). The lecture notes are available as separate pdf files, one for each lecture. The notes will be dowloaded after each lecture.


Cours de Mastère 2ième année ETE: The World income distribution. This is a two hour lecture devoted to the econometric questions around the World Income Distribution. The lecture notes are available as a single pdf file. The lecture was given in 2018 and 2019.

Cours de PhD: The econometrics of Income and Social Mobility (2019). The lecture notes are available as separate pdf files, one for each lecture. The notes will be dowloaded after each lecture.


Cours de Mastère 2ième année: The econometrics of inequality and poverty measurement. The lecture  notes are availalble as separate pdf files, one for each chapter. The notes will be dowloaded after each lecture.


Cours de Mastère 1ère année: Econométrie des séries temporelles avec applications en finance. Ce cours de 12h vient en introduction au cours d'économétrie appliquée de 12h donné par Eric Girardin.
    Chapitre I: Modèles à corrections d'erreurs   (Version 2007)
    Chapitre II: Modèles VAR et modèles à équations simultannées (Version 2007)
Les questions d'examen porteront sur les chapitres I et II. Les seuls documents autorisés à l'examen sont une feuille de formules recto verso que chaque étudiant devra se confectionner. Pour ses questions, Eric Girardin n'autorise aucun document.

A titre d'illustation du cours, il est plus qu'utile de lire l'article deux articles. Davidson, Hendry, Sbra et Yeo (fichier pdf), en particulier les section 8 et 9 pour illustrer le chapitre I. Pour le chapitre II, il serait bon de lire la section 2 de l'article de Sims Macroeconomics and Reality (en négligeant la section 1 qui est trop dure).

Cours de Mastère 2ième année: Volatilité et Risques Financiers. The lecture  notes are availalble as separate pdf files, one for each chapter.

Cours de Mastère 2ième année: Non-Stationary Time Series Econometrics with Financial Applications. The lecture  notes are availalble as separate pdf files, one for each chapter. These notes correspond to the lecture referenced on the Web site of the AE2 Master Degree.
This lecture is given together with Eric Girardin for the financial aspects.
