30661-01 - Lecture: Time Series Analysis II (3 CP)
| Semester | spring semester 2014 |
| Course frequency | Every spring sem. |
| Lecturers | Christian Kleiber (christian.kleiber@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | Content: The course will cover selected topics beyond the ARIMA basics introduced in Time Series Analysis I. Topics may include vector autoregressions (VARs), cointegration, structural change, structural time series models, classical forecasting methods, spectral analysis, nonlinear models, panels with unit roots, etc. I am planning on a kind of 'helicopter tour' -- brief introductions to a variety of topics instead of an in-depth treatment of 1-2 topics (such as VARs and/or cointegration). Details may depend on the interests of the audience. Suggestions are welcome! |
