Econometric Principles - ECON232
This unit provides an overview of econometric principles of relevance to applied economic and financial research. It serves two purposes. First, it may be taken as a general overview for students who do not intend to study further econometrics but who wish to benefit from an exposure to econometrics beyond the level attainable from ECON241. As such, students majoring in economics, finance, accounting, business and marketing find this unit valuable. Second, the unit is designed as part of the sequence of undergraduate units in econometrics. Students who do not wish to study the complete sequence of undergraduate units in econometrics may nevertheless make use of the background knowledge acquired in this unit to pursue more quantitative work in 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.
