Summary
1 Introduction to econometrics (subject of econometrics, methodology of econometrics)
2. Simple linear regression function (the nature of regression analysis, the concept of population and sample regression function (deterministic and stochastic version), the method of ordinary least squares, coefficient of determination)
3. Statistical verification (testing of regression coefficients, the overall of sample regression model)
4. Autocorrelation (the nature, the consequences of autocorrelation, detection, removing).
5. Heteroscedasticity (the nature, its consequences, detection, removing, WOLS)
7. Multicollinearity (the nature, its consequences, detection, removing).
8. Model specification (model selection criteria, types of specification errors, consequences, tests)
9. Prediction (ex-post and ex-ante, mean and individual prediction, point and interval prediction).
10. Functional form of regression models (exponential regression model, semi log models and reciprocal models).
11. Dummy variable regression models.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of the subject is to master the process of econometric modeling with a focus on economic interpretation, verification of the model and its subsequent use in practice in management and decision-making at the micro and macro level.
