Course Objectives This course is a continuation of ECON 301, which set out the basic assumptions of the classical linear regression model (CLRM). The assumptions of the CLRM are usually not satisfied in econometric applications. This course will look at: the detection and consequences of violations of the CLRM including multicollinearity, heteroskedasticity, autocorrelation, and model misspecification, as well as a selection of further topics in econometrics including model specification, diagnostic testing. Applications to real world data are emphasized to illustrate the concepts introduced in the course
Course Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • Understand and apply more advanced econometric techniques
  • Appreciate the advantages and limitations of an econometric method in various situations
Course Content Review of regression and hypothesis testing; dummy variable regression models; multicollinearity; heteroskedasticity; autocorrelation; model misspecification; model selection criteria; outlier analysis.
