<P ><BR>These are very useful courses for applied work in econometrics, macroeconomic theory, and applied industrial organization. They describe the foundations of methods used to specify and estimate dynamic competitive models.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P >Just as in jogging, I recommend not overdoing it. Rather, find a pace that you can sustain throughout your years here. You will find that taking these courses doesn't really cost time, because of your improved efficiency in doing economics.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P >There are many other courses that are interesting and useful. The most important thing is just to get started acquiring the tools and habits these courses will convey.<o:p></o:p></P><BR>
