Topics of the lectures: 1. Subject of econometrics, econometric model. 2. - 3. Classical linear regression model in economic applications - statistical assumptions, parameter estimation, properties of the estimators, goodness-of-fit measures, predictions. 4. - 5. Statistical inference in linear regression models - test of parameters and its linear combinations. 6. Asymptotical properties of the linear regression - consistency, asymptotic normality. Asymptotical inference, LM test. 7. - 8. Testing, corrections and estimation methods in case of violated assumptions - heteroskedasticity, autocorrelations, multicollinearity, specification errors. Weighted least squares method. 9. - 10. Further issues of the linear regression: residual analysis, predictions, prediction and confidence intervals. Functional forms of the dependence, modelling elasticity. Models with interactions. 11. Qualitative variables - linear probability models. 12. - 13. Introduction to multi-equation linear regression models, system of simultaneous equations, structural and reduced form, model identification, estimation procedures. 14. Applications, econometric models in practice.

Learning outcomes
|
The main objective of the course is to introduce basic econometric models, principles and tools instrumental to quantitative analysis and estimation in macroeconomic and microeconomic models.
Students understand the basic principles of econometrics and are able to perform basic quantitative analysis and estimate in macroeconomic and microeconomic models.
