Course Objective

This course is subject to econometric models of macroeconomic time series at the graduate level. Within this framework, this course emphasis on the primary concept of time series econometric modeling.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to understand the relation between science of economics and econometrics.
2   To be able to generate econometric models on the basis of economic theory
3   To be able to make theoretic and empiric econometric models of non-stationary macro economic time series
4   To be able to establish and interpret the existence of causality
5   To be able to use the results of econometric modeling at the economic theory forecasting.
6   To be able to learn ethical rules, research techniques and academic study while submitting their seminar presentation and article format projects.
