Course Description

This course is an introduction to the theory and practice of econometrics. The aim is to provide students with knowledge of statistical and econometric theory to make them an effective consumer and producer of empirical research in economics. We will put emphasis on intuitive understanding rather than on rigorous arguments. Throughout the course, we will illustrate concepts with applications in economics.
