The nature of the material in this course is quantitative. Econometric methods require the understanding of algebra, elementary calculus, and inferential statistics. Application will use computer algorithms. EViews will be used for demonstrations. Students can use EViews in the lab, and a student version is available for home use.
Students can buy the professional version at a substantial discount.
Late assignments will be penalized severely. Some collaboration on assignments is expected and encouraged, but joint answers are not permitted. University policy allows for an F grade for the course in cases of cheating or plagiarism. If neither, explain why. Perform a Jarque-Berra test to see if the residuals are approximately normality distributed.
