Course Syllabus
Abstract
The course will be a core one for the Banking Institute Master program “Financial Analyst”. The course is intended for studying during the first and the second semester of the Master level education. The course is a prerequisite for some both core and specialized courses of the curriculum. Because of study of material of the course, a student should master and be able to prove the basic facts of strict development of classical econometrics. She/he should also know main ideas of univariate and multivariable time-series analysis including Box-Jenkins approach, ARIMA (p, d, q) models, non-stationary time-series, unit root tests, co-integration, VAR and VECM.
Learning Objectives
- The purpose of the course is to give students new and extended skills in both econometric tools and their application to contemporary economic problems. The main studying purpose of such topics is to clear understanding of econometric ideas, assumptions under which econometric approaches can be applied. The student should have skills of application of the indicated tools and methods to researches in problems of Micro-, Macroeconomics and Finance. The student should have knowledge and skills of “Econometrics” (Bachelor level) and a number of mathematical and statistical courses such that “Linear algebra”, “Statistics”, “Probability theory”.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- • to estimate linear regression model • to estimate and interpret logarithmic and semi-logarithmic models • to choose correct functional form of the model • to detect and correct for multicollinearity • to detect and treat autocorrelatied disturbances
- • to estimate binary choice models • to estimate models with censored and truncated dependent variables • to estimate basic panel data models, • to choose appropriate model specification: fixed effects, random effects • to estimate dynamic panel data models with GMM
