Module summary

The module introduces the specification and estimation of time series models and their application in a number of different settings.

Module will run

Occurrence Teaching period
A Semester 2 2024-25

Module aims

To provide an introduction to the statistical analysis of data observed at regularly spaced points in time, as arise in many areas of economics, finance, and more widely.

Module learning outcomes

On completing the module a student will be able to:

understand the main properties of the leading class of models used for studying time series;

demonstrate a general understanding how to develop model formulation, specification and estimation in time series econometrics;

evaluate basic econometric models and critically interpret the existing empirical literature;

carry out an independent empirical analysis from collecting the data, estimating econometric specifications to writing a self-fulfilling report;

approach the more advanced time series methods
