課程概述

This is the first course in econometric theory for Ph.D. students; well prepared
Master students are also welcome to take this course. The prerequisite of this course includes the basic knowledge of linear (matrix) algebra and multivariate statistics;undergraduate econometrics is not required, however. Those who are not familiar with these concepts must read my lecture notes: Elements of Matrix Algebra and/or the first two chapters of Introduction to Econometric Theory; you may also consult related textbooks, e.g., Appendices A and B of Greene (2008).

In this course, I will follow my own lecture notes; other textbooks are assigned as
complementary reading. Unlike most econometrics textbooks that are organized according to models, my notes are categorized by theories or methods, such that each theory (method) is readily applied to existing models. What I hope is that, by introducing econometric theory in this way, students will learn not only various models but also how an econometric method is derived and why it works.
 

課程目標
In this course, I will focus on the classical and asymptotic least squares theories.
In the asymptotic theory part, some non-conventional methods, including unit-root tests and co-integration, will also be discussed. Depeding on the time we have at the end of this semester, I will try to cover two additional methods that are related to the topics in this course: (1) hypothesis testing without a consistent covariance matrix estimator, and (2) bootstrap. The lectures will be in English; students may ask questions in Mandrin though. Our homeworks will include programming exercises; a TA will introduce basic ideas of programming in R (it is okay if you choose to use matlab or anything similar). Auditors are welcome; yet please be advised that no one really learns econometrics without doing homeworks and programming by himself.
