Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The goal is to: - be able to describe and apply the process of analyzing of economic time series, - understand the process of modeling the behavior of economic system based on regression analysis, - select and use appropriate econometrics methodology - the formulation, estimation, prediction and verification of modeled systems, - explain the context of the theoretical behavior of economic systems modeled with empirical results and make appropriate modification of your model, - use the estimated regression models for forecasting.

Summary

The aim of the course is to understand and master the process of econometric analysis of economic behavior of individual entities (eg companies) using cross-sectional resp. panel econometric modeling.

Subject syllabus:

The goal is to: - be able to describe and apply the process of analyzing of economic time series, - understand the process of modelling the behaviour of economic system based on regression analysis, - select and use appropriate econometrics methodology - the formulation, estimation, prediction and verification of modelled systems, - explain the context of the theoretical behaviour of economic systems modelled with empirical results and make appropriate modification of your model, - use the estimated regression models for forecasting. 1. Time series analysis (the basic characteristics, graphical time series analysis, time series transformation, decomposition of time series) 2. Linear regression models (model formulation, estimation, specification, assumptions, OLS methods) 3. Verification of the estimated regression model (statistical verification, autocorrelation, heteroscedasticity, multicollinearity, economic verification). 4. Forecasting (prediction typology, point and interval prediction, prediction of ex-post and ex ante, forecasting accuracy rate). 5. Testing of residual normality (graphical tests, sophisticated tests).
