ECON 210 Introduction to
Econometrics
18 points. Semester 1.
Overview
This paper provides an introduction to basic statistical and econometric
techniques widely used in economics. Through problem-solving assignments
and computer-based exercises, students learn how to apply relevant
econometric methods to economic data and interpret the results from
such analyses. The focus is on conceptual understanding and ‘hands
on’ applications using economic data drawn from real-world
examples, rather than on formal theoretical proofs. By the end of
the paper, students should be able to appreciate and interpret econometric
analysis reported in many studies in economics and be able to carry
out and interpret their own basic econometric analysis. Topics to
be covered include: least squares estimation and inference, multicollinearity,
dummy variables, heteroskedasticity, and specification and data
problems.
