This unit introduces econometrics: the application of economic theory and statistical methods to quantify economic phenomena and relationships using observational economic data. The unit starts with a review of probability and statistics, followed by an in-depth analysis of classical linear regression. Advanced topics including nonlinear models, dummy variables, model specification, heteroskedasticity, measurement errors, and time series are discussed in the second half of the unit. The aim is to develop a deep understanding of the statistical properties of modern econometrics techniques, and to provide the practical skills, such as using statistical software, to fit models to data.

✔ At the completion of this unit, you should be able to:

understand the process of econometric model building and testing
critically evaluate underlying theories, concepts, assumptions and arguments in econometrics and other related fields
develop coherent arguments when recommending solutions
manage, analyse, evaluate and use information efficiently and effectively
demonstrate an increased range of econometric techniques for use in applied work and be able to implement this knowledge for modelling data in different situations
demonstrate proficiency in carrying out applied work in econometrics and in the use of an econometric software package
confidently and coherently communicate, orally and in writing, to a professional standard

Prerequisite(s): ECMT1010 or BUSS1020 or DATA1001 or DATA1901 or (MATH1005 and MATH1115) or (MATH1905 and MATH1115) or ENVX1002.
