Content
This course covers a number of models and methods employed in time series econometrics. The emphasis is on 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
