Preliminary knowledge

A solid understanding of econometric methods as taught in the courses “Methoden der Ökonometrie” and/or “Zeitreihenanalyse”. First experience with R.

Abstract

This course focusses on panel time series methods and their practical application to address empirical questions in international economics. By considering time series data from multiple economies jointly, these methods can improve estimation performance and further provide insights into the interdependencies between economies.

Contents

  • Literature review of (1) econometric studies in international economics and (2) relevant methods in econometrics
  • Data research and preparation, application of econometric methods and presentation of results using R
  • The preparation of a term paper and a presentation as well as the discussion of their results

Teaching concept

Classes are organized as lectures. The discussions are complemented by problem sets, illustrations in R, and collaborative interactive programming sessions to support students' understanding of the statistical concepts and their empirical application.

Die Veranstaltung entspricht einem Vorlesungsanteil von 2 SWS und einem Seminaranteil von 2 SWS.
