This course will survey econometric theory which underlies modern applied research on macroeconomic and financial issues, as well as some of the literature that has applied this theory. The main objectives are to give students a background that will enable them to understand and critically appraise applied work on macroeconomic and financial issues, and to provide students with some practical experience in working with macroeconomic/financial data.
