I attended Vancouver School of Economics for its well-known masters program. Econometrics finally clicked for me after Vadim Marmer’s course, which used one of the best yet underrated econometrics textbooks, Econometric Theory and Methods by Davidson and MacKinnon. I was fascinated by combinatorial programming in structural IO from What Happens When Wal-Mart Comes to Town by Panle Jia, whom I deeply admired. I did more structural IO: BLP model and production function estimation.
