Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The basic aim of the course is to provide some of the developments in the theory and practice of econometrics in economics using statistical package SPSS. Students will discuss the steps involved in traditional econometric methodology – statement of theory or hypothesis, specification of mathematical and econometric models, obtaining and analysing data, estimation of the econometric models, statistical hypothesis testing, econometric verification of the models ( multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, autocorrelation problem, normality of the disturbances). Attention is devoted the questions of the functional form of the regression models. Students will be introduced to the possibilities of econometric models applications for prediction, control or policy purposes.

Summary
1. Introduction to econometrics (subject of econometrics, methodology of econometrics)
2. Simple linear regression function (the nature of regression analysis, the concept of population and sample regression function (deterministic and stochastic version), the method of ordinary least squares, coefficient of determination)
3. Statistical verification (testing of regression coefficients, the overall of sample regression model)
4. Autocorrelation (the nature, the consequences of autocorrelation, detection, removing).
5. Heteroscedasticity (the nature, its consequences, detection, removing, WOLS)
7. Multicollinearity (the nature, its consequences, detection, removing).
8. Model specification (model selection criteria, types of specification errors, consequences, tests)
9. Prediction (ex-post and ex-ante, mean and individual prediction, point and interval prediction).
10. Functional form of regression models (exponential regression model, semi log models and reciprocal models).
11. Dummy variable regression models.
