This is an introductory postgraduate econometrics unit that is designed to bring students with no background to an intermediate level in econometrics. The unit will be a prerequisite for econometrics electives in the postgraduate program. Starting from first principles, the unit outlines standard econometric methods to the extent necessary for students to understand key concepts, apply basic methods, and interpret empirical research results in economics, finance and business. The unit material also includes elementary discussions of violations of the standard assumptions for a regression model, such as autocorrelation and heteroscedasticity.
