The module examines the specification of econometric models and their estimation and testing using available data. It considers the nature of economic data, the methods by which these data are compiled and the problems they may present for the econometrician. It teaches both techniques of estimation together with methods for testing and evaluating results. Emphasis is placed on providing you with practical experience of working with actual economic data sets and using a standard econometric package (i.e. STATA) for data analysis.
