DESCRIPTION

This unit provides the techniques required to quantify the magnitude, strength and form of relationships between variables and the strategies that need to be employed to use these techniques effectively. More specifically it examines the theory and use of the Classical Linear Regression Model (CLRM) and intermediate level econometric models, such as: IV, Logit, Panel, ECM, 3SLS, ARIMA. The unit supplies students with the econometric theory to be able to obtain answers from data using the latest econometrics software.

The unit teaches matrix algebra to re-examine the CLRM learnt in BEA242 Introduction to Econometrics. The unit demonstrates how to test violations of its assumptions, their consequences and how to remedy them. It then provides students with the knowledge of how to use a range of econometric models for the analysis of cross-section and time-series data and the ability to obtain answers to research policy questions in economics and finance. A working knowledge of the unit is essential for those students intending to work as professional economists, financial analysts and business analysts.
