Videotapes of Lectures
for
Economics 244: Discrete Choice Methods with Simulation
University of California, Berkeley
Spring Semeter 2001.

IMPORTANT: The quality of the streamed videos is not very good, for which I apologize. The biggest difficulty is that some of the material that I write on the board becomes hard or impossible to see. I suggest that you read the relevant parts of the textbook before watching the videos. The lectures follow the text, and so, by reading the text beforehand, you will be able to infer what is on the board even if you cannot see it. (UC-Berkeley's media services department is developing ways to tape and stream lectures at higher quality. Hopefully, if we try this again, the product will be better!)
