The course is intended to give a practical understanding of basic econometric techniques to enable the student to perform his (her) own analysis of economic data, using the software package EViews. The technique of regression is discussed, as well as various extensions that might be needed in economic applications, such as heteroskedasticity, serial correlation, endogeneity, non-linearities, and the technique of maximum likelihood. The emphasis is on the interpretation of models, the outcomes of estimation, and on testing.
