Applied Econometric Analysis
This project is a great opportunity for students to apply time series models to actual economic data. Working on empirical projects, the students will be able to understand the models and methods, and then, they will be able to think about possible extensions of those models/methods. In addition to MATLAB, which we usually use, we will be using more user-friendly packages such as Eviews and Stata. As for the models, we will be mainly using VAR for forecasts or decomposition of time series data on financial markets and macro-economy.
