Educational Aims
There are three specific aims for this module:To provide students with a knowledge of the core techniques of econometric analysis which forms the basis for the understanding and critical assessment of published work in empirical econometrics.To develop the analytical skills required to demonstrate theoretical asymptotic properties of different econometric estimation and testing procedures under weakened modelling assumptions.To provide a proper understanding of the applicability and limitations of non-linear regression analysis.Learning Outcomes
