ECON 4870 - Introduction to Econometrics


Basic linear regression models are explored within an econometric context. Simple and multiple linear regression models are introduced under classical assumptions and developed in relation to heteroskedasticity, autocorrelation, multicollinearity, and specification errors. Models with binary regressors, models with qualitative dependent variables, and the simultaneous equations model are introduced. Computer assignments provide experience in empirical social science research.
