This course provides an introduction to econometric methods and its applications.

Topics studied will include the properties of least squares estimators, hypothesis testing, prediction, the choice of appropriate functional form, the use of dummy variables, and 'problems' such as heteroskedasticity and serial correlation. Microeconomic and macroeconomic applications will be used to illustrate the empirical relevance of each topic. |
