Course content

Econometrics involves the quantification and testing of economic relationships and theories. We also discuss how data can be extracted, how reliable data is, and how available data reflects the theoretical variables. The students are also introduced to statistical methods through analyzing and interpreting data. Empirical examples will be discussed in light of inaccuracy and possible weaknesses of the applied methods.
