Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of this module students should be able to:

Complete small scale empirical projects independently, using econometrics software such as Stata

Understand how econometric analysis is used in data science and economics

Apply appropriate econometric techniques to provide evidence for evaluation

Demonstrate knowledge of econometric approaches used in data science and economic studies

Brief description

An introduction to approaches used in advanced econometric modelling, with focus on methods and techniques when the data to be analysed are either time series, cross-sectional or a combination of both. The module builds on students’ knowledge gained in AB23420 Econometrics. Instruction in using the computer software STATA will be provided. Students will gain valuable quantitative skills useful in a broad range of careers across business and economics.

Aims

This module aims to introduce students to advanced approaches used in econometric modelling for applied research in economics and business. A secondary aim is to introduce students to using STATA as a computational package for data science analyses.
