This course covers a number of models and methods employed in time series econometrics. The emphasis is on stationary univariate models, but vector autoregressive models and nonstationarity are also discussed. Specifically, the topics covered on the course include the following:

  • Basic time series concepts
  • Methods for stationary univariate data: ARMA models, ARCH models
  • Nonstationarity (unit roots, cointegration)
  • Vector autoregressive models

After the course, the student should

  • Know the basic properties of the time series models and the related methods introduced
  • Be able to critically follow empirical research that employs them
  • Be able to apply them in empirical research
  • Have the basic knowledge for more advanced methodological and applied studies in time series econometrics
