Course objective
The objective of the course is learning to model and estimate various economic causal models for time-series data in a consistent way. Hendry’s general-to-specific modelling (GTS) approach will be used in obtaining correct and parsimonious models of various economic phenomenons, like consumption, investment, etc. In the course, the emphasis will be on the econometric practice. Only that theory will be discussed that is necessary to understand the empirical work. All procedures will be exercised with real macroeconomic data by using EViews as software package. The data concern time-series data of various countries, also including recent volatile periods because of economic crises, which need special attention in obtaining a correct model specification.
