Inhalte (short description):

​This module provides the students fundamental knowledge of quantitative methods in empirical economic research at introductory and anvanced level. The focus is on the theory, estimation and application of simple and multiple linear regression models. After a systematic introduction to econometrics, selected special topics, such as multicollinerity, heteroskedasticity, model selection and models with time series errors, will be dealt with in details. A brief introduction to the analysis of panel data will be provided as far as possible. The course is computer supported and will be provided with a lot of real data examples. Numerical examples in the lectures and tutorials will be dealt with the public powerful programing language R. During the visit of this modul you will also be introduced to the use of R in statistics and econometrics.
