Econometrics Methodology Workshop Series

 

Foundations of Econometrics Time Series Data Analusis Panel Data Analysis
This is the first series and covers fundamental techniques and tools required for more advanced data analysis and modelling. This series will delve into the following areas of the study: This is the second series and aims to develop participants’ ability to understand modelling and forecasting of time series data sets. The topics that will be covered include:

 

·         Introduction to Time Series Modelling (Stationary vs Non- Stationary Data, Autocorrelation Functions           and Partial Autocorrelation Functions, and Testing for Unit Root (Non- Stationarity) in Time Series Data

·         Univariate Time Series Modelling (AutoRegressive, Moving Average, Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average Models, Forecasting using ARIMA Models, Exponential Smoothing Models, Forecasting Error/Accuracy of Forecasting Models

 

·         Multivariate Time Series Modelling (Vector Autoregressive Models (including Impulse Response Functions and Variance Decompositions) and Modelling Cointegration: Testing for; Modelling Cointegrated systems

This is the third series and we focus on data that spans multiple cross sections and time periods. The course will include (but is not limited to) the following:

 

·         Introduction     to     Panel Data Techniques

·         Fixed Effects Model

·         Random Effects Model

·         Diagnostic Tests of Panel Data

·         Hausman Test

·         Seemingly Unrelated Regressions

·         Dynamic Panel Modelling (Panel GMM)

·         Types of data
·         Descriptive Statistics and Visualizations Moments, Probability Distributions, Histograms, Box Plots, etc.
·         Methods of estimation using cross sectional data: An introduction to Simple Linear Regression, Multiple Regression Analysis and Regression with Categorical Independent Variables
·         Statistical Inference and Hypothesis testing
·         Further Multiple Regression Analysis
