Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject provides students with the necessary skills in statistical and econometric techniques to carry out independent empirical studies. This subject presents the theory of multiple regression used to estimate and test the validity of economic relationships. Students will study OLS estimation, the Gauss-Markov Theorem, diagnostic tests and GLS estimation. Students will also study the applications of these techniques to various empirical examples using Eviews software.
