Additional information

Prerequisite modules: Probability and Statistics OR Quantitative Methods

Econometrics has a strong emphasis on applications and only requires a knowledge of linear algebra and basic probability and statistics acquired in semesters 1 and 2 with Maths for Economists and Probability and Statistics or Quantitative methods. It also builds on the knowledge learned in Data, Evidence and Policy, however this module is not a requirement.

Students who would like a more theoretical approach are encouraged to also take the Semester 4 optional module Econometric Theory.

Econometrics will provide the necessary skills to understand and evaluate empirical economic papers used in most applied modules in Semesters 5 and 6 such as Contemporary Economic Issues and Analysis, Political Economics, Health Economics, Labour Economics or Economics of Social Policy. These skills are also transferable to other social sciences disciplines such as Politics or quantitative History. 

Students choosing to write a Dissertation will have the necessary toolkit to perform an econometric analysis, interpret and think critically about their results.
