Course objectives
The course is designed to give students experience of using basic and advanced econometric methods important in economics, finance and other business subjects. It provides skills in regression essential for understanding much of the literature of economics, finance, and empirical studies in other areas of business. Topics of introductory econometrics (covered in "Introduction to Econometrics") will be reviewed and expanded into more advanced level. Advanced econometric topics include non-linear least squares, instrumental variable estimators, maximum likelihood method, and generalised method of moments.
We start with a short review of linear regression model and least squares method. Careful attention is given to the interpretation of regression results, hypothesis testing and to diagnostic tests. Moreover, further topics in regression analysis are presented including time series econometrics, regression with panel data, and binary dependent variable. By the end of the course students should be able to use regression models in many different applications, and to critically examine reported regression results in empirical research in economics and other business studies. They will be able to identify and deal with a number of econometric problems in the analysis of time series, cross-sectional and panel data, and will have experience of a range of basic and advanced econometric methods. The course is designed to provide students with a working knowledge of basic and advanced econometric tools so that:
They can apply these tools to modelling, estimation, inference, and forecasting in the context of real economic problems;
They can evaluate critically the results and conclusions from others who use econometric methods and tools;
They have a foundation and understanding for further study of econometric theory.
