PhD Applied Econometrics

Prerequisite (s)
Undergraduate Econometrics I, Undergraduate Econometrics II, Undergraduate Applied Econometrics, Econometrics at Master Level, and Econometrics at PhD Level

Course Aim
This course teaches how to test economic models by employing econometric models applied on collected data, and how to assess results obtained from the econometric models.

Course Goals
Learning how to construct economic models
Learning how to construct econometric models
Learning how to use Econometric Software
Learning how to Collect Data and Prepare for the Analysis
Learning how to Compute Econometric Models
Learning how to Evaluate Results Obtained from the Computation of Econometric Models


Course Learning Outputs and Proficiencies

The main learning output of this course is to teach how to test economic theories by employing econometric models. The course views teaching econometric software as the most important learning output.

Required Readings:
-James H. Stock and Mark W. Watson (2007), Introduction to Econometrics: International Edition, Addison-Wesley, Boston.
- Eviews, RATS, and Stata Software Manuals.
Suggested Readings:
