Goals |
The objectives of this course are to provide students with an understanding of the concepts of modern time series methods as well as practical experience in analysing time series from economics or business. Students will have learned recent econometric methods to study multivariate economic time series. Students should be able to apply these methods to economic data.

Description |
The emphasis of this course is on the study of methods for the analysis of possibly nonstationary economic time series. We consider both theoretical and practical aspects. We cover and discuss issues related to exogeneity and causality in dynamic econometric models, modelling univariate and multivariate nonstationary processes, unit roots, cointegration as well as the asymptotic theory for integrated processes. Empirical applications are also considered so that the course will provide students with practical experience in analysing univariate and multivariate time series cointegration, factor models as well as from economics or business.
