The course aims to improve the knowledge of the methods of analysis of time series econometrics.
Lectures and exercises provide numerous examples and hands on sessions.
Interest is focused on estimation and testing of dynamic models derived from macroeconomic and financial theories. Students consider models of real variables, like GDP, production and unemployment and models for exchange rates, stock markets and interest rates. Having passed an introductory course in econometrics is not strictly required but some knowledge of the linear regression model and basic notions of statistical inference are recommended.
