1 Detailed course syllabus 1. Linear regression model. Ordinary least squares method. This introductory class covers basic definitions of econometrics, econometric model, and economic data. Classification of econometric models (single- and multiequation models, linear and nonlinear models, static and dynamic models) and types of economic data (that is, time series, cross section, and panel data) are discussed. Primary and secondary data sources are described. OLS (Ordinary Least Squares) estimation method is presented and then employed using gretl software package. The procedure of designing and estimating a single equation linear regression model is discussed, as well as interpretation of its estimates (for the cases of continuous, trend, and binary variables). Other estimation methods (that is, ML Maximum Likelihood, MM Method of Moments, and IV Instrumental Variables) are briefly mentioned. Several single equation linear regression models are estimated and interpreted by students in class using provided data sets. Class structure: lecture (2 hours) + computer lab (3 hours). Basic: J. Wooldridge, Introductory. A Modern Approach, South- Western, 2009 [chapters: 1 3 and 10] Supplementary: C.

2 2. Validation and testing of the linear regression model. This class is focused on evaluating single equation linear regression models estimated by OLS. General quality of an estimated model is evaluated on the basis of coefficients of determination (standard and adjusted) and information criteria (with focus on Akaike information criterion, AIC). Multicollinearity of explanatory variables is discussed and analyzed through variance inflation factors (VIF). Statistical tests of significance (t test for individual variables, F test for sets of explanatory variables) and specification tests (RESET, omitted variable, and Davidson-MacKinnon tests) are introduced and applied to models estimated on the basis of current economic data sets. Detection of outliers and remedial measures in presence of atypical observations are discussed. Several single equation linear regression models are evaluated by students in class. Computer lab exercises are designed to apply tests and methods presented during lecture to real-life economic data. Class structure: lecture (2 hours) + computer lab (3 hours). Basic: J.

3 3. Autocorrelation and heteroscedasticity of the error term. This class discusses tests of properties of the error term, and their consequences for OLS estimators. Serial correlation (autocorrelation), heteroscedasticity, and normality of the error term and described. Causes, consequences, and remedial measures are discussed in each case. Tests for serial correlation (Durbin-Watson, LM), heteroscedasticity (White) and normality (Jarque-Bera) are presented and applied to models based on current economic data. Finally, asymptotic properties of estimators and test statistics are described. All the tests described in the lecture are later carried out by students in computer labs; consequences and practical implications of the results are comprehensively discussed. On the basis of econometric software package (e.g. GRETL) printouts, the diagnostic algorithm for evaluation of a single equation linear regression models is presented, and typical estimation results are reviewed.

4 4. Econometric prediction. Point and interval prediction. Mean error of prediction ex ante, errors ex post. Exponential smoothing. This class is centered on econometric methods of forecasting. It presents assumptions and properties of econometric forecasting, including test of stability of model parameters (Chow test). Necessary conditions for economic forecasting are enumerated. Point and interval forecasts are described, along with ex ante and ex post prediction errors (ME, MSE, MAE, MAPE, Theil s coefficient). Applications of standard and relative (percentage) errors and discussed. Selected statistical methods of forecasting (i.e., exponential smoothing by various methods) are also presented. Advantages of employing lagged explanatory variables and trend variables in forecasting models are reviewed. Several forecasting models are estimated and evaluated by students from the point of view of their predictive performance. Special attention is allotted to ex post forecast errors as the major empirical measure of forecast quality. Class structure: lecture (2 hours) + computer lab (3 hours). Basic: J.
