Econometrics is a major part of degree programmes in economics. Indeed, economists, especially those in the areas of macroeconomic modelling and research, amongst others, need reasonable knowledge of this course in order for them to operate in a more efficient manner. Given this background, this course essentially aims at equipping the students with the basics of Econometrics as well as some aspects of Applied Econometrics. The students should be able to build econometric models, estimate econometric models, evaluate econometric models and also forecast macroeconomic variables.
