課程概述

The course is based on economics and statistics concepts and applies this knowledge on real data in order to do hands-on analysis of current prices, analyze price fluctuations, and estimate future prices. Students will perform their own analyses throughout the semester in the form of project assignments and a price forecasting competition using primarily R software. 

課程目標
The objectives of this course are three fords: First, to provide students with an understanding of the complex array of forces that influence the level and behavior of agricultural product prices. Second, to assist students in bridging the gap between theory and empirical analyses of price behavior. Third, to allow students to analyze historical price data and forecast prices based on price information. 
課程要求
Students are expected to thoroughly understand price formation theoretically and are able to participate discussion in classes, to properly build up their own forecasting models for agricultural commodity prices.
