| Main themes |
The course must cover the important and essential themes of the econometrics of time series analysis and their application in some fields of economics, like macroeconomics and finance.
The basic concepts of stationarity and ergodicity are taught in the prerequisite course.
The main themes for this course are those of linear time series models (autoregressive and moving average models), unit roots and cointegration. Both univariate and multivariate models must be taught.
For non linear time series models, a selection of topics has to be done mainly among ARCH models, Makov-switching models, and state-space models.
In all topics, the themes of model building, evaluation and prediction are included.
|
| Aims |
The purpose is to train the students in the tools and models useful for the econometric analysis of economic
time-series.
Students will learn to understand in depth and apply correctly the techniques. The course prepares to research in the field of time-series analysis and its applications.
