Abstract

The course aims to provide students with a theoretical understanding of the basics of time series modeling and demonstrate their application on real data. This course is blended. Students learn theory from the online course. On practical session, they will apply models to macroeconomic and financial data. The course begins with essentials of working with time series data. The next part of the course covers all basic time series models, such as: ARIMA, SARIMA, ARCH and GARCH, VAR and VECM. As a result of the course, student will make a project on real data: prepare data for analysis, choose appropriate model, apply it and interpret results. The practical session R language is applied.

Learning Objectives

Analyze economic data in accordance with the task, make preliminary data analysis.
Build appropriate econometric time series models for the research question, analyze and interpret results.
Understand limitation and relevance of the models.

Expected Learning Outcomes

Know basic concepts of multivariate time series analysis, build appropriate econometric time series models.
Know basic concepts of univariate time series analysis, build appropriate econometric time series models.
