| Content | Contents: The course covers basic concepts of univariate time series analysis that are needed for an understanding of modern time series econometrics. The latter includes multivariate models such as vector autoregressions (VARs) and cointegration, topics that are studied in a follow-up course "Advanced Time Series" in spring. The course will study notions such as autocorrelation, stationarity, AR(I)MA models and their seasonal extensions, model selection and diagnostics, forecasting, unit roots, and volatility models. 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 may be lab sessions. |
