course aims in Estonian
Aine eesmärk on arendada kaasaegsete ökonomeetria meetodite rakendamise oskusi majandusprobleemide lahendamiseks, majandusteoreetiliste kontseptsioonide ja hüpoteeside kontrollimiseks. Lisaks süvendada üliõpilaste empiirilise uurimustöö kogemusi, kasutades selleks sobivaid tarkvarasid.
course aims in English
The aim of this course is to advance skills in applying modern econometric methods to solve economic problems via testing various hypotheses and theoretical concepts. Additionally, to deepen students’ experience conducting empirical research by applying econometric methods using appropriate software.
learning outcomes in the course in Est.
Õppeaine läbinud üliõpilane:
- oskab püstitada majandusprobleemidega seotud hüpoteese ning valida empiiriliseks analüüsiks sobiva ökonomeetrilise meetodi;
- kasutab erinevaid rist-, aeg- ja paneelandmetele kohalduvaid ökonomeetrilisi meetodeid nii agregeeritud (makro)andmete kui ka mikroandmete kontekstis;
- viib läbi ökonomeetrilist analüüsi, kasutades Stata ja EViews tarkvara;
- analüüsib ja tõlgendab ökonomeetrilise mudeli tulemusi nii suuliselt kui ka kirjalikult;
- teab aines käsitletud ökonomeetriliste mudelite eelduseid ja piiranguid.
learning outcomes in the course in Eng.
After completing this course, the student:
- can formulate hypotheses related to economic problems and choose an appropriate econometric method for empirical analysis;
- applies different econometric models for cross-section, time-series and panel data both in macro- and microeconomic contexts;
- conducts econometric analysis with Stata and EViews software;
- analyses and interprets the results of the econometric models both verbally and in writing;
- is aware of the assumptions and limitations of the models discussed during the course.
