This Specialisation provides rigorous training in econometric methods, via the exploration of theoretical concepts, real-data examples and the application of econometric techniques to industry relevant questions.

The methodologies in this Specialisation are an important part of an informed economics and financial decision-making process. You will learn:

- How to test economics and finance theories, as well as hypotheses on the relationships between variables. - Study the behaviour of prices, returns, growth and unemployment. - Effectively analyse the impact of macroeconomic changes on economic growth and performance, and forecast the future values of economic variables. Through deep exploration of the modern techniques, applications and possibilities made available by the latest advances in econometrics, you will be ready to use these successfully and navigate the associated risks. This Specialisation is for anyone who finds that econometric methods are the main framework of reference in their daily activities as well as researchers and policy makers.

What's inside

Four courses

The Classical Linear Regression Model

(0 hours)
In this course, you will learn the basics of econometrics, including the types of questions it can answer, the different types of data you might use, and the assumptions needed for the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) estimator to deliver true regression parameters.

Hypotheses Testing in Econometrics

(0 hours)
In this course, you will learn why the parameters recovered under the Classical Linear Regression Model are rational for hypothesis testing in uncertain contexts. You will develop your knowledge of the statistical properties of the OLS estimator and learn that it has desirable statistical properties, which are the basis of an approach for hypothesis testing to aid rational decision making.

Topics in Applied Econometrics

(0 hours)
In this course, you will discover models and approaches designed to deal with challenges raised by empirical econometric modelling and particular types of data. You will:

The Econometrics of Time Series Data

(0 hours)
In this course, you will explore models and approaches for time series data. You will learn about stationary and non-stationary time series models, the problems with non-stationarity data, and the applications of time series models. You will also explore forecasting using econometric models, different criteria for evaluating forecasts, and models for volatility forecasting.

Learning objectives

  • The ordinary least squares method
  • How to perform hypothesis testing
  • Management of issues raised by identification
  • How to estimate the various model with r
