Aims

This course is a natural extension of the "Econometrics" course. The principal objective is to study in greater detail and extend training in fields of econometric modelling. Particular stress is put on problems specific to time series modelling, on the basis of methods taught in the "Econometrics" course.

Main themes

The course starts by showing students how to use the basic tools of Econometrics with practical examples of the most up-to-date economic models. Students will then see, through the application of the various approaches to time series modelling, the problems involved in recognising apparently significant results which actually have no real content. A number of more advanced but essential tools will also be introduced. Learning to use econometric software is also an integral part of this course.
