THE COURSE "ECONOMETRICS" INTRODUCES THE BASIC CONCEPTS AND TOOLS OF QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS RELATED TO ECONOMIC PHENOMENA. ECONOMETRICS STUDIES ECONOMIC DATA TO BOTH CHECK THEORETICAL HYPOTHESIS, ANALYSING CAUSAL RELATIONS BETWEEN VARIABLES, AND PROVIDE FORECASTS. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE IS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE TO, STARTING WITH A GIVEN RESEARCH QUESTION, PROPERLY ANALYSE THE DATA AND INTERPRET THE RESULTS. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS ARE, THEN, FUNDAMENTAL.
THE COURSE FOCUSES ON: REVIEW OF BASIC STATISTICS, SIMPLE AND MULTIPLE LINEAR REGRESSION ANALYSES, BINARY AND MULTINOMIAL DEPENDENT VARIABLE MODELS. THE APPLICATION OF ECONOMETRIC TECHNIQUES IS BASED ON THE SOFTWARE R.

The course includes class lectures (online if needed) and exercises with the use of the PC.Attendance
Attendance is not mandatory but strongly recommended.Type of evaluation
For attending students: the final mark depends on the outcome of the final written exam (50%) and on the practical activities (exercises, data analysis, interpretation of the results, participation) carried out in the classroom during the course. The written exam lasts 1 hour and consists of 3 questions aimed at verifying the knowledge of the contents discussed during the course and the synthesis ability. For non-attending students: the final mark depends on the outcome of the final written exam. The written exam lasts 1 hour and consists of 5 questions aimed at verifying the knowledge of the contents of the book James H. Stock, Mark W.Watson, 2016.
