ECONOMETRICS
(objectives)
THE COURSE OF ECONOMETRICS INTRODUCES THE BASIC CONCEPTS AND TOOLS OF QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS RELATED TO ECONOMIC PHENOMENA. ECONOMETRICS STUDIES ECONOMIC DATA IN ORDER TO MAKE ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT THEORETICAL RELATIONS EXISTING BETWEEN THEM, OR TO PROVIDE FORECASTS. THE COURSE PROVIDES FOR THE REVIEW OF CONCEPTS OF MATRIX ALGEBRA, PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS, THE STUDY OF SIMPLE AND MULTIPLE LINEAR REGRESSION ANALYSES, PANEL DATA MODELS AND BINARY DEPENDENT VARIABLE MODELS. THE COURSE PROVIDES FURTHER APPLICATION OF ECONOMETRIC TECHNIQUES USING STATA AND GRETL.
