Academic Writing

FP-awDAcad. year: 2022/2023

The course contents include identification and solution of econometric problems in the field of analysis of time series and cross-sectional data. Students will deepen their knowledge of the use of econometric methods in modelling, estimating, analysing and predicting economic phenomena, thus creating preconditions for sound economic decision-making (especially in the corporate sphere).
· Introduction to econometrics and data processing; non-technical introduction to regression; regression model with a single explanatory variable; model of multiple regression;
· Heteroscedasticity; autocorrelation of random components;
· The method of instrumental variables; models of qualitative and limited explained variables;
· Vector autoregressive models; other econometrics methods, models and tools;
· Overview of econometric model applications in enterprise economics.
