At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| The student should be able to: - understand basic econometric theory (regression) : identify, define and reproduce methods to estimate basic econometric models; - understand basic econometric theory : identify and explain basic econometric problems ; - apply basic econometric methods to economic problems and this using the Gretl software ; - analyze regression results, compare different models, criticize analyses and model relationships between different variables (in Gretl) |

Teaching methods
A) Lectures
During the lectures the theoretical concepts and regression methods will be explained. Regression analyses will be demonstrated using Gretl and the interpretation and analysis of the results will be integrated in the lectures. Students are encouraged to participate to class, answering to questions that are raised.
B) Exercise Classes
During the exercise classes students have the opportunity to perform regression analyses using the Gretl software and interpreting the results under the supervision of a teaching assistant. We recommend the students to review their lecture notes before participating to the exercise sessions.

Evaluation methods
The evaluation of this course is based on :
1) A written closed book exam (80% of the final mark) based on theoretical concepts and practical econometric applications (using Gretl). Students will be asked to define, identify, and explain theoretical concepts, but also to analyze, interpret, comment and criticize regression results provided.
2) A group assignment (20% of the final mark) during which students need to to apply the theory and perform regression analyses and test in Gretl.
