To develop skills needed to apply econometric techniques in the following contexts: (i) the implementation of instrumental variable methods when regressors are endogenous; (ii) the use of binary choice models to model probabilities in applied economics; (iii) the estimation and interpretation of models designed for panel data; (iv) forecasting using stationary ARMA models and evaluating forecast performance; (v) the investigation of the time series properties of economic data and the implications of these properties for least squares analysis; and (vi) cointegration analyses when a single equation model is under scrutiny and the derivation of associated error correction schemes when variables are cointegrated.
To develop skills needed to interpret applied econometric results in the following contexts: (i) the analysis of regression models in the presence of omitted variables; (ii) the application of linear probability, logit and probit models; (iii) relationships estimated using linear panel data models; (iv) the outcomes of a battery of diagnostic checks after estimation; (v) testing for unit roots in economic variables by means of Dickey-Fuller tests; and (vi) empirical analyses based upon either the Granger-Engle two-step method or the Autoregressive Distributed Lag model.

Re-assessment (see also below): the arrangements described below refer to students who resit without mitigating circumstances. For students who resit with mitigating circumstances, the arrangements are instead as follows:
2-hour closed exam in summer reassessment period, 70% weight
Empirical Project 1 with deadline extension (if mitigating circumstances cover the period during which the projects are required to be carried out), 15% weight
Empirical Project 2 with deadline extension (if mitigating circumstances cover the period during which the projects are required to be carried out), 15% weight
