| Lecturers | Christian Kleiber (christian.kleiber@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | Contents: The course will cover selected topics beyond the AR(I)MA basics introduced in Time Series Analysis I (TSA I). This course may be seen as an introduction to time series econometrics, whereas TSA I is meant to be an introduction to time series and forecasting in a wider sense. Of course, TSA II requires the contents of TSA I as a prerequisite. Empirical illustrations will make use of the R language for statistical computing and graphics, see https://www.R-project.org/, hence basic knowledge of this software package is expected. There will be lab sessions. Topics will include unit roots, volatility models (GARCH-type models), vector autoregressions (VARs), cointegration, potentially structural change. |
| Learning objectives | Learning objectives: Basic time series econometrics beyond (univariate) ARIMA modeling, notably volatility models and basics of multivariate models. |
