ECON232: Econometric Principles
This unit provides an overview of econometric principles of relevance to applied economic/financial research. This unit serves two purposes. Firstly, it may be taken as a general overview for students who do not intend to study further econometrics but who would wish to benefit from an exposure to econometrics beyond the level attainable from ECON241 Introductory Econometrics. As such, students majoring in economics, finance, accounting, business and marketing would find this unit valuable. Secondly, the unit is designed as a prerequisite for more advanced econometrics courses such as ECON233 Financial Econometrics and/or ECON333 Econometric Methods. Students who do not wish to pursue ECON233 and/or ECON333, may nevertheless make use of the background knowledge acquired in this unit to pursue more quantity-analysis-type works in both academic and business fields. At the end of this unit students are able to apply basic econometric tools to modelling, estimation, inference and forecasting in practice; critically evaluate empirical econometric work; and engage in further studies in econometrics.
