Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The first half of the course will review basic econometric methods (i.e. the OLS estimator, instrumental variables, binary response models, simultaneous equation models), how to implement these methods and how to interpret the results. The second half of the course will discuss a number of topics in time-series econometrics (i.e. ARIMA modelling, VAR models, unit root testing, cointegration).

Assessment and permitted materials

The course will be assessed by two exercises (20 %), one project (40%) and a final exam (40%)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

This course is an advanced course in applied econometrics for undergraduate students studying Economics in their second "Studienabschnitt" (advanced undergraduates and masters students). The aim is to discuss various econometric methods using examples from microeconomics and macroeconomics.

Examination topics

The course is applied in nature and lectures will concentrate on understanding when different methods are applicable, how to implement the different methods and problems with their use. Students will be introduced to both EViews and Stata during the course.
