| Goals |
The objectives of this course are :
- to provide students with an understanding/intuition of the concepts of modern time series methods that are used in econometrics. - introduce the student to fundamental methodological issues in dynamic econometric modelling (nonstationarity, nonstandard asymptotic theory). - to provide students with some experience in analyzing univariate and multivariate time series from economics or business. |

| Description |
The emphasis of this course will be on studying in depth methods and techniques for the analysis of (nonstationary) economic and financial time series. We will cover and discuss issues related to: - dynamic econometric modelling - modelling nonstationary processes - asymptotic theory for dependent and integrated processes - unit roots (representation, tests, properties), cointegration and VECMs. Empirical applications as well as simulation experiments will also be considered to provide students with practical experience in analyzing economic and business time series.

| Prerequisites |
This course is in transition for the master Business Research.
See the Master Education and Examination Regulations for more information. The following rule applies to master Business Research students who started the programme prior to academic year 2024-2025. TRANSITIONAL REGULATION (EBC4008): The master Business Research has been discontinued. Courses of the Business Research master’s programme will continue to be offered until and including academic year 2025-2026 with exam opportunities running until and including 2026-2027. PREREQUISITES: * Econometric methods (EBC2111), Stochastic Processes (EBC4004). * Exchange students need to have a solid background in econometric methods, probability theory, mathematical statistics, and some knowledge in stochastic processes (some familiarity with Brownian Motion theory is important). Exchange students need to have obtained a Bachelor degree and an advanced level in mathematics and probability and statistics. An advanced level of English. |
