Econometric Principles and Data Analysis

This course examines the interaction and confrontation between economic theory and economic data. It is concerned with the use of statistical and mathematical methods in analysing economic data, with the aim of providing economic theories with sufficient empirical foundation to enable them to be verified or refuted. Central attention is given to regression analysis – the major tool of statistical analysis in econometrics, to hypothesis testing and the treatment of heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation. The MICROFIT computer package is provided for regression analysis and diagnostic procedures.
