Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to introduce the students to the use of quantitative techniques for the analysis of the socio-economic phenomena. At the first (preliminary) stage, the course offers a wide survey about the econometric approach, that will be also useful for the more advanced courses.
Course contents
1. The classical linear and non linear regression model (OLS)
2. The extensions (GLS and IV)
3. Time series modelling
Readings/Bibliography
Stock, J. e M. Watson, Introduction to Econometrics (5th edition), Pearson
Chapters: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 15
Teaching methods
Each lecture presents both theoretical and applied aspects of the econometric method, by using the PC in class in order to show main outcomes of the regression analysis. Then is very important to attend attend the lectures.
Assessment methods
The final examination for students attending the lectures is in two parts: a written text on the basis of the relevant chapters of the textbook, and an empirical study is also due. Only for those students who will give the exam in this way, I will be able to write a reference letter.
Students not attending the lectures are requested to make a single written exam. Grades of assessment: <18: not sufficient; 18-23: sufficient; 24-27: good; 28-30: very good; 30 e lode:outstanding.
