Course Objective

This course aims to provide a comprehensive and illustrated discussion on the most common basic quantitative analysis approaches in foreign trade and finance. It is intended to prepare students for using econometrics in practice, and includes detailed case studies to help students understand how the techniques are applied in relevant foreign trade contexts.
The use of examples from data software helps students to learn how to implement their own models and interpret results. These examples serve as a guide for students as they practice using quantitative analysis and become familiar with the software. This allows students to gain a deeper understanding of how to apply the techniques in relevant contexts.
