(East Asia's description...)
This one-day introductory course will show some
basic features of EViews. The course is meant to be a brief
introduction to EViews; not a comprehensive description of the
program.
(East Asia's description...)
This 3 - day workshop provides a selective
review of basic econometric concepts, their application in
economics and finance and their implementation using the EViews
software program. Topics cover include ARMA modelling and
forecasting, vector autoregressive model and impulse response
analysis, cointegration and error-correction model estimation, and
GARCH modelling of financial volatility. Case studies are drawn
from actual up-to-date research in economics and finance. The
approach is ‘hands on’ and interactive, with the instructor
discussing relevant concepts and then illustrating in EViews with
participants replicating each step at their own PCs.

Macroeconometrc
& Financial Modeling and Forecasting using EViews
June 25 - 27, 2008 in
Singapore
(East Asia's description...)
This course provides the training on using
Eviews to do Macroeconometric & Financial Modeling and
Forecasting. The modeling techniques taught in this course include
OLS, 2SLS, GMM, IV, unit roots test, AR model, MA model, ARMA
model, ARIMA model, Cointegration, Engle-Granger two step
cointegration test, multivariate Johansen cointegration test,
error correction model, VAR model, VARX model, VECM model, Granger
block causality test, ARCH and GARCH family models etc. This
course has three objectives: (i) to provide participants with
productivity enhancing ways to use the EViews econometrics
package (ii) to provide a practical 'hands-on' application to
modern time series econometric techniques, including unit root
tests, vector autoregressions, cointegration, and error correction
modelling and (iii) to apply these time series tools to
macroeconomic relationships on the Singaporean & Asian
economies . The focus will be on model selection, estimation and
forecasting. This
well-received three -day training stresses more on application and
leaves time for participants to have more experimentation with
alternative datasets with the applied concepts. Participants are
welcomed to bring their own datasets for country (ries) they are
working on. |
