(East Asia's description...)
- This seminar focuses on learning and practicing basic econometrics with emphasis on the practice and less emphasis on deep econometric theory.
- The main purposes of the seminar are to introduce econometric theory at a very basic level and to let you apply the methods with the use of real world data.
- Topics include: Methodology of Econometrics, Regression Analysis, Econometric Analysis, Two-Variable Regression Analysis, Population regression function (PRF), Sample Regression Function (SRF), Two-Variable Regression Analysis , Ordinary least squares (OLS), The Gauss-Markov Theorem.
(East Asia's description...)
- This seminar is an extension of Econometrics I.
- Topics include: Classical Normal Linear Regression Model (CNLRM), method of Maximum likelihood (ML), the t, c2,and F distributions, Two-variable regression, Functional form of regression models (the log-linear model, semi-log model, reciprocal model), Multiple Regression Analysis, the Cobb-Douglas Production function, Polynomial Regression Models, Multiple Regression Analysis, The likelihood ratio (LR), Wald (W) and Lagarange Multiplier (LM) Tests.
(East Asia's description...)
- The objective of the course is learning to model and estimate various economic causal models for time-series data in a consistent way.
- Hendry’s general-to-specific modelling (GTS) approach will be used in obtaining correct and parsimonious models of various economic phenomenons, like consumption, investment, etc.
- Topics include GTS approach of estimating single equation models, reduced-form and structural models, OLS, GLS, and IV, Residual autocorrelation and heteroskedasticity, Seemingly-unrelated regression model (SUR model), Simultaneous-equation model (SEM), Modelling of short-run error-correction models and long-run models, short-run error-correction models (ECMs)., Engle-Granger and the Johansen approach , VAR models etc.
(East Asia's description...)
- This course will present an advanced treatment of econometric principles for cross-sectional, panel and time-series data sets.
- While concentrating on linear models, some non-linear cases will also be discussed, notably limited dependent variable models and generalised methods of moments.
- The course will focus on modern econometric techniques, addressing both technical derivations and practical applications.
- Applications in the areas of microeconomics, macroeconomics and finance will be considered.

(STATCON's description...)
Econometrics answers economic questions with statistical means. The economic theory provides statistical and econometric models that can be stated and verified using appropriate data sets. Then the models can be used e.g. for simulations or forecasts. This training contains an introduction to econometrics, with a special emphasis on the linear regression model als fundamental model of econometric model building and time series analysis. In addition we introduce the software EViews, an easy to learn software that is very well suited to build and analyse econometric models and time series.
Objectives:
- Introduction to EViews
- Answering economic questions with statistical tests
- Simple, multiple and non-linear regression
- Regression diagnostics
- Build and analyze stationary time series
- Estimate non-stationary time series
(STATCON's description...)
In this course we focus on advanced methods for modeling in econometrics. After a review of time series analysis we turn our attention to dynamic regression models that consider the dynamic structure of economic processes. Then we present the simultaneous equation models that allow to deal with several variables and interactions in parallel. This naturally leads to vector models, like VAR (vector autoregressive) and VEC (vector error correction) models. Finally we introduce ARCH and GARCH models for the analysis of financial markets.
Objectives:
- AR, MA, ARMA, ARIMA models
- Simultaneous equation models
- VAR and VEC models
- ARCH and GARCH models
(STATCON's description...)
In this one-day-training we introduce the programming language of EViews. We start with simple commands that allow you to read and write data, and we show you how you can replace the menus by commands. Then we turn our attention to the classic elements of any programming language, like loops and conditions, or the use of vectors and matrices. In addition you will learn how to use data bases, models and links, objects and graphs and much more. All subjects are illustrated by examples that you will take home as templates.
Objectives:
- Read and write data
- Objects and commands
- Loops and conditions
- Databases and links
- Matrices and vectors
- Working with graphs
