Summary
The course is focused on the analysis and forecasting of the dynamics of economic time series. Its main goal is to explain the most frequently used models and procedures for analysis of economic time series and their using in practice. These procedures are essential for decision making, planning, forecasting in the economy. Students attend seminars in computer labs. The SPSS and MS Excel software will be utilized. The course requires basic knowledge of probability theory and statistics.
