Course Syllabus
Abstract
The course is an introduction to main forecasting techniques used in economics and finance. It covers topics ranging from data collection and preparation to econometrics, general equilibrium and machine learning models used in forecasting. This course is mostly practical, not theoretical, so a significant amount of time will be devoted to application of the models discussed to real data.
Learning Objectives
- The main aim of the course is to provide the students with understanding of how the forecasting is usually conducted. It includes both the ability to use and evaluate external forecasts and the ability to make forecasts themselves. Students should be able to find the data they need, choose the model suitable for a certain problem, evaluate the forecasting performance of the model and interpret the results obtained. Apart from that, application of forecasting to decision making process will be discussed.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- After the course students are to be able to perform all the necessary forecasting steps using the basic set of models: data collection and preparation, model selection, forecast evaluation. For a wider range of more complicated models students are expected to be able to understand and assess pre-build models
