Aims |
|
1. Give students an understanding of econometric time-series methodology. 2. Give students an understanding of important extensions include volatility models of financial time-series and multivariate (multiple equations) models such as vector error correction and related co-integrating error correction models. 3. Present interesting applications that econometric time-series methodology can be applied. |
