This course provides an introduction to econometric methods and its applications. Its theoretical framework is based on standard linear regression theory, but the course emphasises economic applications and hands on data analysis using modern computer software. 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.
