Time-Series and Panel Data Econometrics (MASTER)
Goals
The course of introduces the student to basic econometric models used in applied economic analysis. A formal treatment of the models is complemented with empirical applications in exercise classes. At the end of the course the student is prepared to study econometrics at an advanced masters level.
