Description:

3 credits This course will begin with a review of some of the fundamental sta tistical methods which serve as the foundation of econometrics. Immediately following will be an analysis of ordinary least-squares (OLS) regression analysis, a tool to enable one to estimate quantitatively the impact of a change in the value of one variable on another. Situations in which OLS is inappropriate will also be examined. These include the pres ence of multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and serial correlation. Econometric techniques needed to handle appropriately these situations will be analyzed. Basic forecasting techniques will also be covered. This course stresses the applications of econometrics and the utilization of a widely used and respected statistical software package in order to make use of econometric techniques using actual data. An actual case study involving the application of econometric techniques using the statistical software package will be provided. Prerequisites: ECN 2002A, and ECN 2036A or MTH 1006A. Offered: 2008 - 2010.
